Chapter 362: Miraculous Zhang
As Wang Xu, the general of the Fat Army, attacked the city wall of the South Gate of Fanchang and planted the all-white flag of the Fat Army on the dilapidated South Gate Tower, the Qing army in Fanchang City also completely lost its last hope and began to completely collapse and disintegrate. The soldiers of the Qing army scrambled to flee towards the north gate, which was the only one that was not blocked by their own sacks of earth and stones, and the generals took off their armor in a panic, threw away the ugly helmets with radar antennas, and brought bloody ordinary soldiers from the pile of dead people to wear them, and then quickly joined the team to flee to the north gate, and the entire Fanchang city was in chaos.
Of course, it is not that no one has worked hard to save the defeat, at least Le Erjin's right-hand man Garhan did not give up, although Le Erjin has repeatedly explained before, let Galhan take the lead in retreating when the situation is unfavorable, and before he fell unconscious, he also specially designated the general Baka to lead the army to the palace, but after being forced to withdraw the south gate city wall, Galhan never led the army to flee, but desperately restrained the team from collapse, took over the command of Le Erjin, arranged the order of retreat of each army, and tried to reduce the losses of the Qing army when breaking through and retreating.
Not everyone is so loyal and sensible, especially the Baka of the Le Erjin Palace, after receiving the order, not only did not restrain the army to block the pursuers, but took the lead in escaping from the north gate of Fanchang, and then the capital Iribu also joined the fleeing team with his own soldiers, in order to earlier this Fanchang City covered by the shells and rockets of the Fat Army, Iribu also immediately ordered his own soldiers to cut down and kill the defeated soldiers who blocked his escape, and Leng was to escape from Fanchang City with a bloody way.
In order to escape as soon as possible, the Qing soldiers and generals killed each other, trampled on each other, and the north gate was densely packed with defeated soldiers, not to mention the orderly retreat, it was difficult to squeeze out of the city as soon as possible, and the crying and screaming in the city were loud and audible, and the sound of the shells and rockets of the fat army was one and went straight into the sky.
On the contrary, in the case of a steady victory, the Fat Army did not blindly launch a general attack, but only seized the Fanchang City Wall in an orderly manner, carried a large number of Sanhao rockets onto the city wall, and bombarded the Qing soldiers in the city, further increasing the chaos of the Qing army, frantically killing and eliminating a large number of Qing soldiers, laying a solid foundation for the next step of the total annihilation of this Qing army.
At this point in the battle, don't say that Le Erjin is already unconscious due to excessive blood loss, that is, Le Erjin is still in a conscious state, and this will not think of any power to return to heaven. As a last resort, Garhan had no choice but to send people to contact Hu Shiying and other Qing army generals, asking them to restrain the army with all their might, and at the same time arrange elite soldiers to escort Leerjin out of the city, and shouted: "At all costs, even if you sacrifice your lives, you must also send Shuncheng Baylor to Ogigang!" ”
After sending off Leerjin, Garhan led the army that he could still command to the west gate of Fanchang, intending to remove the dirt bags and stones that blocked the west gate of Fanchang and add a road out of the city. However, when he arrived near the west gate of Fanchang, something happened that made Garhan jump like thunder, Hu Shiying, the deputy general of the Qing army who should have held the city wall of the west gate, had disappeared, and the infantry of the fat army had already detoured along the city wall, seized the city wall of the west gate, and was throwing grenades, sheep's head stones and sassalwood under the city gate to prevent the defeated soldiers of the Qing army from opening the west gate.
"General Ga, we can't get out of the West Gate, let's retreat to the North Gate!" The subordinate screamed and said, "If you don't leave, it may be too late." ”
"Is it necessary to go to the north gate to survive?" Garhan smiled bitterly, "Wu Gou deliberately gave way out of the North Gate, is it really a kind intention to leave us a way to live?" ”
"Boom, boom!" Before the words fell, a continuous and violent explosion suddenly came from the direction of the north gate, and then the earth-shattering cry also came from the direction of the north gate. Although Garhan couldn't see the situation outside the North Gate, he could guess that it must be the fat army that began to block the way out of the North Gate, preparing to catch turtles in the urn and annihilate the remnants of the Qing army in Fanchang City.
It was at this time that the sound of the artillery of the Fat Army, which had basically not stopped since the beginning of the war, suddenly stopped, and the new slogan echoed on the city wall of Fanchang, "Surrender or kill!" Surrender or kill! Surrender or kill! You can still vaguely hear someone shouting in mite language, "Brothers in Mite Prefecture, surrender, the Great Zhou army is a benevolent and righteous army, don't kill prisoners, surrender!" ”
"We're done." Garhan sighed gloomily, the steel knife slipped quietly from his hand, and muttered, "I hope Lord Belle can escape back to Ogi Port smoothly and join our sailors." ”
After receiving the news of Fanchang's urgency, the Qing army's naval division stationed thirty miles northwest of Fanchang hesitated again and again, and finally couldn't bear to see the friendly army being wantonly slaughtered by the fat army, and divided half of the troops, that is, 3,000 sailors landed, handed over to the deputy Yang Jie to lead, and rushed to Fanchang to rescue and respond. However, Yang Jie's 3,000 sailors had just walked halfway, and the 4,000 fat army cavalry led by Gao Hongchen had already killed from the side of the road, Yang Jie hurriedly formed a formation to meet the enemy, and the fat army cavalry had already broken the Qing army's sailor team, and the Qing army sailors who were not good at land warfare panicked and collapsed instantly, and were chased and slaughtered by the fierce fat army cavalry like a duck, and the dead were innumerable.
"Retreat! Retreat! Yang Jie, the commander of the Qing army, was also completely panicked, turned his horse's head and just shouted, "Quickly retreat to Ogigang, on land, we are not the opponent of the Wu Dog Cavalry......." ”
"Whoa!" Suddenly, an arrow flew to interrupt Yang Jie's shout, and the arrow hit Yang Jie's left eye, from the eye into the brain, the hardcore old man annihilated Yang Jie and planted his horse, and died on the spot. More than eighty paces away, Gao Hongchen, the cavalry general of the Fat Army, flicked his bow string and said proudly: "In the end, there is still no retreat." ”
As soon as Yang Jie died, the Qing army sailors collapsed more completely, throwing down everything that could be thrown down, holding their heads and just desperately fleeing back and forth, the defeated soldiers fled all over the mountains, Gao Hongchen while sorting out the army, continuing to intercept the Qing army defeated soldiers who fled from Fanchang, while dividing a thousand cavalry to chase and kill the Qing army sailors, and ordered this army to be sure to pursue and kill to Ogigang, so as to cooperate with the fat army sailor Li Jiyang to kill the remnants of the Qing army's sailors.
When the cavalry of the Fat Army pursued and killed the sailors of the Qing army and arrived at Ogigang, which was more than ten miles away, the area around Ogi Port was already full of smoke and the sound of artillery shook the sky. And this time, the fat army sailor who had been bullied by the Qing army's Anqing sailor before finally raised his eyebrows, not only the strength was far superior to the Qing army's sailor, but the number of warships and artillery was more than double that of the Qing army.
After more than half an hour of heavy bombardment, Li Jiyang's flagship general attack flag was raised, the fat army warship turned its bow, swayed and rowed at full speed towards the Qing army fleet, threw grenades and smashed Molotov cocktails to set fire to the ship, and fought hand-to-hand with the Qing army sailors across the side of the ship, jumped on the deck of the Qing army's warship, and the Qing army sailors cut down the ship, constantly shouting the slogan of surrender and not killing, and Li Jiyang personally led three warships straight to the flagship of Ghent Baturu. Ghent Baturu also made up his mind to die, not only did not escape, but also ordered the flagship to meet the flagship of the Fat Army, intending to take a gamble, and strive to capture the thief first to capture the king and kill the anti-thief son of the old opponent Li Guodong, and reverse the decline in one fell swoop.
With a loud bang, the flagship of the Qing army and the flagship of the Fat Army collided violently, but before Ghent Baturu ordered to jump ship to kill the enemy, the grenades and Molotov cocktails on the flagship of the Fat Army had already smashed their heads and faces, and the Qing soldiers who were ready to jump ship to fight cried wolf, either blown up by grenades and splashed with flesh and blood, or burned all over by Molotov cocktails. Immediately afterwards, the muskets on the flagship of the Fat Army rang out indiscriminately, and the two wingships protecting the flagship of the Fat Army collided with the flagship of the Qing Army almost at the same time, and the sailors of the Fat Army on the ship threw incendiary grenade cocktails while jumping on the deck of the Qing Army flagship, roaring and killing the few Qing sailors left on the deck.
At the same time, in the southwest of Fanchang, the only way for Fanchang to return to Tongling, Huanghu Town, the Fat Army Hutong Spring Department stationed here, also ushered in the first wave of Qing army defeated soldiers who fled from Fanchang, and the Mites Qing forward led about 2,000 people from the Guercha Department. Seeing that the infantry of the Fat Army intercepted on the road, Gualcha, who was the first to escape from Fanchang and suffered little loss, also made a heart, and led the surviving team to charge with all their might, in a vain attempt to break through the Fat Army's blockade and escape.
Although the abacus played well, it is a pity that Gualcha met Hutong Chun, who is known as a tough battle in the ranks of the Fat Army, first covered and bombed by the three good rockets of the Hutong Spring Army, and then was fired three rounds by muskets and guns, and finally was blown up by grenades. Seeing that the fat soldiers in filial piety clothes were smiling and smiling like a tide, the very clever Gualcha also immediately returned the knife and cut off the braids on his head, then threw down his weapons and knelt on his knees, shouting in Chinese, "General Da Zhou, my surname is Guerjia, I surrender!" ”
At this time, the Fanchang battlefield has been full of frightened Qing army defeated soldiers, no establishment, no organization, just desperate to flee, and the fat army's pursuit has completely become a hunt, shouting the slogan of surrender and not killing the Qing army to chase the defeated soldiers, catch up with the cut and kill, kill the Qing army defeated soldiers is a river of blood, corpses are all over the field, countless Qing soldiers knelt down and surrendered, more is not even a chance to surrender, directly cut down by the fat army soldiers, to atone for the sins of their ancestors and for themselves with blood.
"There are big fish! There are big fish! ”
During the pursuit, a team of Fat Army infantry suddenly found Le Er Jin who was carried by Qing soldiers on a stretcher, although it was impossible to identify Le Er Jin's identity, but just by seeing the armor on Le Er Jin and the appearance of being carried on a stretcher, the Fat Army soldiers understood that they were lucky this time. Under the great joy, the fat soldiers immediately cheered and pounced, Leerjin's personal soldiers resisted desperately, but the fat soldiers rushed too fiercely, and at the same time, the surrounding fat soldiers also gave up the small fish and shrimp and rushed up to help the battle, and Leerjin's personal soldiers soon began to gradually fall.
Coincidentally, at this time, Le Erjin was awakened by the sound of shouting and fighting, seeing that he and more than a dozen pro-soldiers were surrounded by the fat army, and heard the crying mite crying and begging for his life in the distance, Le Erjin quickly understood the critical situation today. With a long sigh, Le Erjin pulled the soldier who was holding his head with difficulty, and ordered: "Put me down, kill me, I can't be a prisoner anymore." ”
"Lord Belle, I can't." The soldiers cried and said, "Lord Belle, don't worry, the minions will fight to protect you from breaking through." ”
"It's all come to this point, and I can't get out." Le Erjin let out another long sigh and said with difficulty: "Carrying out the order, I have already been captured by Wu Gou once, and I don't want to be insulted again." If you still think of me as your master, help me, help me...... The last handful. ”
Under Le Erjin's repeated requests, the henchmen finally put down Le Erjin and raised the steel knife against Le Erjin's heart, but his hands trembled, and he couldn't say anything. Seeing that Le Erjin was about to commit suicide, the fat soldiers over there couldn't help but be in a hurry, and they rushed to Le Erjin in an instant, and Le Erjin yelled, "Quick!" Poke! ”
The pro-soldier was clever, and subconsciously stabbed down, the tip of the knife made Leer Jin's heart, and between the blood splashes, Leer Jin scolded again, "Zhangtai Xiaoer, I fuck your mother's eighteenth generation ancestor!" With a word of scolding, Le Erjin tilted his head and was killed on the spot, and the soldiers around him were also cut into meat sauce by the thunderous fat soldiers.
When the news of Leerjin's death was transmitted back to the flag array of the Fat Army outside the east gate of Fanchang, the sky was already slightly dark, and the battle in Fanchang City was also in the final stage, and the remnants of the Qing army besieged in Fanchang City and occupied the high ground of the city wall, and the Fat Army did not rush into the city to increase the casualties of its own army, but adopted the tactics of besieging but not attacking, and sent the wounded soldiers of the Qing army who had been rescued from the battlefield to the city wall, so that they could shout and surrender their companions, and repeatedly emphasized the four killing orders of the Fat Army, declaring that in addition to the four evil surnames of Jiannu, other mites only need to surrender, all of which can avoid death.
Lu Fatzi's despicable tricks have had a miraculous effect, seeing that they have become turtles in the urn, and hearing the surrender of their companions, most of the thousands of Qing troops trapped in Fanchang City chose to abandon the darkness and surrender to the light, according to the requirements of the Fat Army, put down their weapons, and walked out of the north gate with their hands raised to surrender to the Fat Army, only Garhan led the four surnamed mites and a very small number of diehards to resist, and also prevented their companions from surrendering and killing the Qing soldiers who planned to surrender, but the more they were like this, the faster the Qing soldiers surrendered, There were even quite a few Qing soldiers who raised their swords against these diehards -- after all, there were only a very small number of hardcore men who were willing to sacrifice their lives for the mites and barbarians.
The battles on several battlefields are still going on, but when the victory is decided, there is nothing to do with the commander-in-chief Lu Fatzi - the powerless Lu Fatzi can't personally pick up a knife to cut people, right? Therefore, Lu Fatzi Suo temporarily handed over the command to Han Daren, and summoned Yao Qisheng and Zhu Fangdan to discuss the next plan with them, as well as to learn about the military intelligence reports received from various places recently.
Because of the road, the news of the Yangzhou battlefield, the Yangtze River estuary battlefield and the Huzhou battlefield has not yet been sent to Lu Fatzi, so Lu Fatzi first understands the situation of our Zhangwang Ye's army, and Yao Qisheng, who is responsible for military intelligence collection, said to Lu Fatzi: "Back to the general, the latest report received more than half an hour ago, the main force of the Mangou Western Front led by Zhangtai has not made any movement since it arrived in Huangchi Town yesterday morning. ”
"I really can't figure out what Lord Zhang's thoughts." Lu Fatzi lamented: "Yesterday morning, I arrived at Huangchi Town, attacking Wuhu to the west and Gaochun to the east, it only takes half a day to arrive, and it only takes one day to attack Taipingfu City to the north. ”
"The student is also curious about this, why does he not move?" Yao Qisheng was also confused, and asked cautiously: "General, the student has the courage to ask a question that should not be asked-Prince Zhangtai Zhang, is it you or the prince of Pingxi who bought the inside line of control, or how can you help us so much?" If we want to fight Fanchang, he will take away the main elite of the dog from the periphery of Fanchang, we will storm Fanchang, and he will not move in the town of Huangchi, so that we can calmly annihilate Leerjin, and we don't even have to worry about the back road? ”
"I'm more suspicious than you are!" Lu Fatzi said aggrievedly: "I also suspected that Prince Zhang was the inside line bought by our prince, but he never contacted us, and he beat Xia Guoxiang so badly." I wondered if he was a relative of mine, but I don't seem to have such a relative. I really don't know what he thinks. ”
"It may be phlegm, qi and blood coagulation, and yin and yang disharmony." Zhu Fangdan analyzed from a medical point of view: "You can use more medicines to relieve the liver and regulate qi, calm the liver and latent yang, regulate qi and activate blood." ”
"Okay, such a prince is a good prince, you'd better not cure him." Fat Lu hurriedly waved his hand to stop Zhu Fangdan's kindness.
After saying a few jokes, Yao Qisheng turned the conversation to the main topic, and suggested: "General, the students think that it is best for our army to divide an army to return to Wuhu as soon as possible to help in the war, and form a corner with General Li Mao of Taiping Mansion, first deter Prince Zhang, so that he does not dare to make any changes, and wait for our main force to return to the division, and then try to annihilate the main force of the Western Front full of dogs." ”
Fat Lu didn't agree immediately, and after closing his little eyes and thinking for a while, Fat Lu shook his head and replied, "You can't do this." I'm not taking the enemy lightly, the key is what to do next for Prince Zhang, I really can't guess, but the 40,000 dogs in his hands are the real main elite of the dogs on the Western Front, and there are more than 11,000 cavalry alone, and the speed of action is fast, and the combat effectiveness is not weak. If we immediately divide our troops back to Wuhu and break the current stalemate in the eastern part of Taiping Mansion, I can't guess what kind of magic oil Lord Zhang will make. ”
Speaking of this, Fat Lu paused and added: "If you force Prince Zhang to be in a hurry, take his 40,000 main forces to fight Gaochun and Liyang, and enter the hinterland of our army, it will be even more troublesome - our territory is the essence of the land in the world, everything is good, the only drawback is that the strategic depth is too small, if we let Prince Zhang go to our hinterland to stir up, we will have to cry." ”
"That's right." Yao Qisheng nodded and agreed: "Judging from the fact that Prince Zhang is not moving, there is a good chance that he wants to wait and see the situation, plan and then act, we will return to the division immediately, disrupting his wishful thinking, and he may not know what magical move he will do." ”
"So be it." Lu Fatzi made up his mind and said: "For the time being, we will not divide the troops, and make every effort to exterminate the remnants of the Mangou on the battlefield of Fanchang, and then let the army rest for a day, and when the prince has made a move, it will not be too late for us to make a move." ”
Yao Qisheng and Zhu Fangdan agreed, and Lu Fatzi instructed Zhu Fangdan again: "Master Zhu, write a letter to Hu Guozhu for me, tell him the news that we have broken through Leerjin, and ask him to send troops to Jiangnan as soon as possible to join our army." ”
Zhu Fangdan agreed again, and when he hurriedly picked up the pen under the torch and lantern to make a book, Lu Fatzi pulled the sparse mustache on his chin and calculated, and said secretly in his heart: "What's strange? It stands to reason that after receiving the news of Kang Mazi's personal expedition to Jiangnan, no matter how stupid Hu Guozhu is, he should immediately send troops to the east, or at least prepare for the eastward expedition. ”
"Could it be that the old fox of the old man Wu Sangui wants to wait for me and the Mangou Emperor to lose both, and then let Hu Guozhu pick up the cheapest? There is this possibility, when I and the main force of Mangou are defeated, the old fox will send troops to Jiangnan again, even if I want to rebel, I will have no confidence and strength,! old fox! ”
"Also, the edict of the old man Wu Sangui calling the emperor to change the yuan, and the official edict canonizing me as the king of Yuejun, why hasn't it been sent to Jiangnan yet? Considering the time and distance, it should have arrived early, huh? Could it be that this old fox suddenly repented and didn't want to make me king again? But even so, the edict he called the emperor to change the yuan, he should always give me the next one, right? ”
……………… Let's turn around and take a look at the situation of the prince of Daqing Zhang, the only thing that gives Lu Fat a headache, as we said earlier, when Le Erjin found that the situation was not good, he sent ten cavalry to escort the messenger out of the city on a fast horse, and asked for help from the prince of Zhang, and Lu Fatzi deliberately did not intercept this team of messengers in order to force the most dangerous Zhang Wangye to expose his whereabouts first, and let the messenger of Le Erjin break through for help, so the messenger of Le Erjin also successfully broke through the blockade of the fat army, and when the sky was about to be dark that evening, Arrived in the town of Huangchi, and dictated to Prince Zhang's message for help. Then ...... "Take it!" Our Zhang Wang Ye slapped the table and yelled: "Push it out and cut it!" ”
"Cover." Prince Zhang's personal soldiers didn't say a word, and stepped forward to hold down the Leerjin messenger, which frightened the Leerjin messenger to kill the pig and scream, and the Qing generals such as Niyahan and Ehenne also looked at each other, hurriedly came out to stop them, and asked: "Lord, what crime did this person commit, why did he want to be beheaded?" ”
"Why do you want to be killed?" Prince Zhang's eyes widened, and he shouted: "Can't you see this? This so-called messenger is fake! It's a fake messenger sent by Lu Yifeng's dog thief to trick us into returning to our division! On "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", there are as many as there are such superficial strategies! ”
"Lord Wang, wronged! Slaves are true messengers, slaves are true messengers! ”
"Fart! If you are a true messenger, why did you just bring the message of Le Erjin? Didn't bring the token and handwritten letter of Le Erjin? This prince is familiar with military books, and he is well versed in Tao strategy, and Lu Yifeng's dog thieves besieged the city to help, how can he hide this prince's eyes like electricity? ”
