Chapter 376: No Fat Man
As Lu Fatzi said, at the same time, Huai'an City was indeed in chaos. I saw the Qing army's vanguard Dong Weiguo's team rushing through Huai'an City, and they didn't even dare to enter the city, so they rushed directly from the official road in the east of Huai'an and the canal in the west.
Immediately afterwards, there were torches all over the mountains and a larger number of Qing army escape teams on the official road in the south, and the Qing army brigade led by Yue Le himself also arrived, and after more than 80 miles of outlaw escape, the Qing army brigade with mixed infantry and cavalry had long been out of formation, and the first to rush to the front was the most fierce mouth cannon and the fastest to escape the Mongolian army, not only rushed to the front of the Qing army's central army brigade, but also the team was the most chaotic, chaotic like a swarm of flies, Many of the Mongolian cavalry were still stained with the blood of friendly soldiers, and it was obvious that they trampled on each other on the way to escape.
Immediately after the Qing infantry, which was also not in formation, many infantry still carried stretchers, carried wounded Qing generals and companions on their backs, and the Mongolian cavalry did not enter Huai'an City, and went directly from the official road outside the east gate of Huai'an, all the way to the north frantically fleeing for their lives. Then there was the mite cavalry that barely maintained the formation, led by Yue Le himself, but still did not enter Huai'an City, and went around the city directly, and at the same time, the white military flag of the Fat Army had also appeared in the field of vision of the Huai'an defenders.
Seeing such a scene, Yang Yingyao, the prefect of Huai'an, and Wu Zhan, the garrison of Huai'an, who hurried to the south gate to meet the friendly troops, were inevitably frightened, and hurriedly closed the south gate of Huai'an and pulled up the suspension bridge. Unexpectedly, he took his wife, beautiful concubine and gold and silver fine, opened the north gate of Huai'an, and fled north!
"Old thing! Old country thief! Old and immortal! After scolding Cai Lao Han for being greedy for life and afraid of death, Yang Yingyao turned to Wu Zhan and shouted: "Wu Shoubei, from now on, you will sit at the south gate of Huai'an, and if Wu Gou attacks the city, he will defend it with all his might!" I will command in the center and organize the people of the city to act as your backup! ”
"Lord Prefect, the situation has come to this point, can Huai'an hold it?" Wu Zhan said with a face as earthy: "Prince An's so many troops have run away, and there are only more than 1,200 green battalion soldiers and more than 500 village warriors in Huai'an City, what are you going to do to defend Huai'an?" ”
"If you can't keep it, you have to keep it!" Yang Yingyao stomped his feet and shouted righteously: "You and I eat the same court and the world, and the world is favored by the king, no matter how dangerous Huai'an is now, you and I have to defend the city and wait for reinforcements, the city is in the people, and the city is dead!" Even if you fight to the last soldier, you must not surrender to the thief, and you would rather be broken than broken! ”
Yang Yingyao, who has always liked to withhold the salaries of the township warriors and resell military rations, Yang Yingyao Yang Governor's Mansion was suddenly so righteous and awe-inspiring, so impassioned, Wu Zhan was really a little ashamed of his illegal behavior of secretly colluding with the Fat Army to smuggle and sell smuggled goods for more than a year, and immediately knelt down on one knee to Yang Yingyao, clasped his fists and said: "Since the prefect said so, then Wu Zhan is a big deal to throw this life in Huai'an, please rest assured, as long as Wu Zhan still has a breath, Wu Gou will not want to step into Huai'an!" ”
Governor Yang was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked Wu Zhan repeatedly, Wu Zhan didn't say much, and immediately returned to the Huai'an city wall, restrained the soldiers to organize the team, and prepared to meet the siege from the fat army, and according to Wu Zhan's estimate, the fat army marched at full speed so quickly, the team must not have time to carry siege weapons, no matter how few defenders in Huai'an City, they can at least block the footsteps of the fat army for a day or two!
When he was directing the soldiers to sort out and collect the weapons to defend the city, an official of the Huai'an prefect's yamen suddenly rushed to the wall of the south gate of Huai'an, came to Wu Zhan and saluted and said: "General Wu, the prefect asked the villain to report to you, he suddenly remembered that there are more than 10,000 taels of silver in the Huai'an treasury of the imperial court military salary, and my Qing army is stationed in the Xiba camp to resist Wu Gou's victory over the river, which will inevitably require a large amount of military salary expenditure, so the prefect has already taken the salary account and two hundred taels of silver, disguised as ordinary people from the north gate of Huai'an out of the city, Go to the Xiba camp to pay the salary, and then the defense of Huai'an City will all be entrusted to General Wu. ”
Wu Zhan almost didn't squirt out a mouthful of old blood, and only after a while did he jump to his feet and scold, "Yang Yingyao Lao'er, I fuck your mother's eighteenth generation ancestor!" ”
"General Wu, what should I do?" Ji Huaizhan, Wu Zhan's deputy next to him, asked tremblingly: "Wu Gou is less than five miles away from Huai'an, and it's not enough for us to stuff Wu Gou's army?" ”
"Fuck it!" Wu Zhan just thought about it for a moment, and immediately shouted, "Cai Shiying and Yang Yingyao have both run away, Lao Tzu is still playing a ball, put down the drawbridge, open the city gate, and surrender to the Great Zhou army!" Anyway, the full dog is almost over, and now surrender to Da Zhou, just in time to go over and get promoted and make a fortune! ”
"General Wu is right, surrender to the Great Zhou army!" The Huai'an Green Battalion soldiers next to him shouted out their hearts, "The big officials have all run away, and we will play a ball as soldiers!" It's better to surrender Da Zhou! ”
"Maybe that's the only way to go now." Ji Huai didn't plan to go to the funeral of the Qing army, but asked with some worry: "But General Wu, will the Great Zhou army accept our surrender?" ”
"How not?" Wu Zhan said triumphantly: "Things have come to this point, I won't hide it from the brothers, the private goods that have passed from under our hands for more than a year are actually all the Yangzhou army of the Great Zhou Dynasty asked us to go, and I also burned yellow paper with the Great Zhou Heavy General Wu Yonghua Wu to worship the brothers, you follow me over, keep all of you eating and drinking spicy food!" ”
"It's still General Wu who is powerful, we don't have to worry about it this time!" The Qing soldiers next to him cheered again, at the moment Wu Zhan waved his hand, the Qing soldiers immediately happily put down the drawbridge, and opened the city gate, together with the city gate to line up to welcome the fat army into the city, in order to show their surrender sincerity, our Wu Zhan Wu general also took the lead in cutting off the money rat tail on the head, the Qing soldiers followed suit, more than a thousand mouse tails were thrown everywhere under the south gate city wall.
So, soon, such a scene soon appeared under the city of Huai'an, when the three thousand fat army infantry led by Wu Yonghua, the general of the Fat Army, rushed to the south gate of Huai'an, and had time to see the situation of the city wall clearly, General Wu Zhan Wu led a large group of Qing army generals and soldiers to meet him, and shouted affectionately from afar: "Brother Wu, I am your brother with the same surname Wu Zhan, Brother Wu, you are finally here, please enter the city, all the brothers in Huai'an City have been persuaded by me, and they are all willing to abandon the darkness and join the Great Zhou army!" Brother Wu, you must report this matter to General Lu Yifeng and General Lu! ”
…………………… At the same time at the Qinghe crossing, the defeated Qing army defeated soldiers who fled here have stopped their escape footsteps under the personal obstruction of Kang Mazi, and sent 2,000 Qing troops led by Cai Yurong to defend Huai'an City, and the remaining 14,000 Qing army fresh troops are lined up five miles south of the Qinghe crossing, and the defeated Qing army defeated and fled here in chaos went to the rear of the large array to reorganize and organize the team, and gradually assembled into a formation, at the same time, the large and small ships on the canal and at the Qinghe ferry were all burned and chiseled by the Qing army, and the rebellious iron pot was all smashed and left only dry food. I have enough strength to fight to the death with the fat army at the Qinghe crossing.
When the Mongol cavalry fled to the Qinghe crossing, in view of the fact that the Mongol cavalry did not listen to the call and disrupted a phalanx of the Qing infantry, Kang Mazi cut off the perpetrator Korqin Taiji Bandi without saying a word, and cut down dozens of Mengjian generals and soldiers who fled quickly, and dozens of bloody human heads were loaded with cars to show the public, and the Mongol cavalry finally stabilized and assembled behind the battle under the organization and command of the Qing generals. And seeing that there were more and more troops gathered around him, the fat army's shouts of killing, footsteps and horses' hooves were getting closer and closer, Kang Mazi's heart was beating faster and faster, and he repeatedly muttered the same sentence, "Lu Yifeng dog thief, come on, come on!" ”
Of course, it was impossible for Lu Fatzi to rush to the front of Kang Mazi to be killed, but the defeated troops of Yue Le's main force kept coming, and when it was about to dawn after the fourth watch, the Qing cavalry brigade led by Yue Le himself finally arrived at the Qinghedu battlefield. Seeing the treasure fan dragon banner representing Kang Mazi's identity appear in the dense torch area, Yue Le, who was so tired that he almost lost his strength, almost fainted in fright, and screamed with a crying voice on the spot, "Oh my God! How did the master cross the river himself? He's crazy?! ”
"Lord An!" Wolf Tan led a team of imperial guards to appear in front of Yue Le with torches, and shouted viciously: "Lord An, please dismount immediately, the master will summon you!" ”
"Cover." Yue Le agreed, quickly turned over and dismounted, and was about to open his mouth to ask why Kang Mazi crossed the river, when Wolf Tan had already waved his hand and shouted: "Take it!" ”
"What?" Yue Le thought that his ears were wrong, but the guards brought by Wolf Tan didn't say a word, pounced on Yue Le and then roped up, and tied Yue Le with five flowers to a strong tie, Wolf Tan said coldly to Yue Le who shouted loudly: "Lord An, don't ask the slave why, this is the master's will, so the slave can only offend, for the specific reason, please ask the prince himself." ”
"Why did the master take me? Because I have fought so many defeats? Yue Le was confused, but he didn't dare to resist, so he had to honestly follow Wolf Tan and other guards to see Kang Mazi.
At the same time, Gao Dejie's team, which was biting the tail of Yue Le's team all the way, had also rushed to ten miles away from the Qinghe ferry, but it was a pity that Gao Dejie, who followed Wu Laohan all the way from Shanhaiguan to Burma, ate more salt on the battlefield than Kang Mazi ate, and saw the neat torches of the Qing army four or five miles away, Gao Dejie immediately understood that the Qing army's fresh force in the Xiba camp had crossed the river to respond! So Gao Dejie didn't say a word, and immediately ordered the exhausted fat army cavalry to stop, turn around and go south to attack the rear team of the Qing army led by Jie Shu!
The fat army that was about to rush to the front slipped away temporarily, and when he heard the scout's report, Kang Mazi was immediately angry, and immediately ordered the general Bi Liktu to lead three thousand cavalry to chase and kill, and Bi Liketu led the army just set off, and Yue Le was also escorted to Kang Mazi by Wolf Tan. Seeing Kang Mazi riding on the imperial horse and looking at him, Yue Le didn't dare to slack off, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed and said: "Slave Yue Le, knock on the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." ”
"Yue Le, I ask you, how many of the 120,000 Southern Expeditionary Army I handed over to you last year is left?" It took a lot of effort for Kang Mazi not to let himself roar, clenched his scorched yellow teeth and asked coldly: "The Jiangnan land you recovered for me can now take back one foot and one inch?" ”
"Slaves are incompetent, and they deserve death!" Yue Le kowtowed heavily, not even having the courage to defend himself.
"I don't want you to die, as long as you die and apologize!" Kang Mazi gritted his scorched yellow teeth and shouted: "Prince An Yue Le, live up to the grace of the saint, the teacher is paid, the fighter plane is lost, the teacher is humiliated and the country is humiliated, and I am deeply disappointed!" Immediately cut off all titles and official positions, and behead them for public display! ”
"Master! Master spare your life! Yue Le never dreamed that Kang Mazi would cut off his head as soon as he met, so he quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy in shock, and the civil and military officials of Zhou Peigong and Bo Guoduo next to him also quickly knelt down and kowtowed, and pleaded with Kang Mazi: "Master, Prince An really deserves death, but please read the credit of Prince An in the past, spare his life, and give him a chance to make meritorious contributions." ”
"Master, the enemy is current, killing the general, it is not good for the army, please give Prince An another chance."
"Boom, boom, boom, ......." Kang Mazi's laughter was even worse than that of a night owl, and he said extremely coldly: "Opportunity? Did I give him less opportunities? If I give him another chance this time, I'm afraid that my head will really be given to that fallen talent by him! ”
"Why did the master say this?" Yue Le's face was even more pale, and he secretly said in his heart: "Could it be that Lu Yifeng's dog thief is using a divisive trick again?" The master has been tricked again? Also, why do I say again? ”
"The good deeds you have done yourself, you know in your own heart!" Kang Mazi roared, waved his numb hand and shouted: "Push down, slash!" The first level of the three armies! Tell the officers and soldiers of the whole army that they will fight a decisive battle with Wu Dog in a while, but there are those who retreat from the battle! Immediately slash! ”
"Master, please be gracious!" The civil and military officers of the Qing army screamed again.
"Shut up!" Kang Mazi shouted angrily: "If there are any more people who intercede for Yue Le, they will be regarded as the same party and will be beheaded together!" Immediately push Yue Le down and behead him in front of the battle! ”
Zhou Peigong, Bo Guoduo and the others didn't dare to intercede anymore, so they could only watch with tears in their eyes as the guards pushed Yue Le, who shouted loudly, to the front of the whole army, and beheaded him in front of all the soldiers of the Qing army, and when the executioner's ghost head knife fell, Yue Le finally shouted helplessly, "Lu Yifeng dog thief, you won, this king was finally killed by you!" ”
Without saying a word, the ghost head knife had already slashed Yue Le's neck, and when the blood was splashed, Yue Le's head fell to the ground, and he was extremely glorious to become another mite Qing heavy minister who was killed by Lu Fatzi, a real mite Qing loyal minister!
After Yue Le's head Pegasus was passed on to the three armies, the sky was already twilight, and the noise, shouting and explosion in the south were still loud for ten miles, but the main force of the fat army said that they would not show up, but the Qing soldiers who had been waiting in formation for more than an hour stood with weak legs, and at the same time, the two teams of Cai Yurong and Bi Liktu, who had set off to the south earlier, never heard back. Kang Mazi was so anxious that he had to send scouts to investigate, and he also sent messengers to contact Biliktu and Cai Yurong's two teams.
"Master, I'm afraid there is an accident in Huai'an City." Zhou Peigong faintly had a bad premonition, and hurriedly suggested to Kang Mazi: "The slave suggests that the master should immediately lead our army's new force south, and must arrive at the battlefield before the Wu Dog army gathers and rests, and crush the Wu Dog army." ”
"Then you didn't say it earlier?" Kang Mazi glared angrily, Zhou Peigong hurriedly confessed, and muttered in his heart: "Do I dare to say it earlier?" After a rapid march of thirty miles at night, and the battlefield is chaotic like that, if you are shot by Wu Gou in the dark light, won't my glory and wealth be gone? The key is to kill Lu Yifeng's dog thief, it is too deceitful, and he must have found that our army's new force crossed the river to meet him, so he didn't dare to come over! ”
scolded Zhou Peigong, Kang Mazi immediately gave an order, and the remaining 11,000 Qing army immediately took steps and took the initiative to meet the fat army at full speed. And when Kang Mazi's army walked more than 20 miles to see the Huai'an city wall, the sky was already bright, and the Huai'an city was already killing the sky, and at the same time, the messenger sent earlier also returned to Kang Mazi, and reported that when Cai Yurong's army arrived in Huai'an City, the traitor Wu Zhan had already dedicated Huai'an City to the Fat Army, and the main force of the Fat Army found that the Qing Army's new force crossed the river, and did not continue to go north, and chose to enter the city to station, at present, Bi Liktu and Cai Yurong's team, is fighting under the city of Huai'an with the rear army of the fat army who have not had time to enter the city to rest.
"Lu Yifeng dog thief!" He had already broken the decisive battle of crossing the river, but Lu Fatzi did not choose to flee into Huai'an City to avoid the battle, Kang Mazi was furious and immediately shouted: "The whole army charges, we must arrive at the battlefield before all Wu Gou enters the city!" Kill! ”
Roaring, Kang Mazi personally charged forward with a saber, seeing that Emperor Mazi was so brave, the Qing army naturally did not dare to slack off, and people stepped up and whipped horses, and rushed to Huai'an City at full speed. However, when Kang Mazi's new army finally rushed to Huai'an City, the north gate of Huai'an had long been closed, and when it turned to the east gate of Huai'an, which was in a melee, the last fat army team had fled back to Huai'an City with a fight, and at the same time, muskets and bows and arrows on the city wall were fired indiscriminately, blocking the footsteps of the Qing army's pursuit.
What made Kang Mazi vomit blood even more was that he finally retreated into the fat army team in Huai'an City, and he was still wearing the military uniform of the Qing army, but he didn't wear a hat to reveal the bald head that had just cut off the tail of the rat - obviously, this fat army behind the palace must be the team of the new Qing annihilation of Wu Zhan by the Wannian soy sauce man!
"Master, look! Lu Yifeng dog thief! Zhou Peigong held a telescope in one hand and pointed to the West Gate Tower in Huai'an with the other and exclaimed. Kang Mazi also hurriedly raised the binoculars, and after a closer look, sure enough, the hateful face of the fat man Lu was really standing on top of the West Gate Tower in white clothes and white armor with a staff sword, surrounded by a large number of fat army generals, majestic to the extreme, and the villain was ambitious to the extreme.
"Lu Yifeng! Dog thief! ”
Seeing the ugly face of Lu Fatzi again after eight years, Kang Mazi was completely crazy, and rushed to the west gate of Huai'an as soon as he clamped the war horse, and shouted frantically from afar: "Lu Yifeng! Dog thief! Dog thief! I'm coming! Come out! Fight me to the death! Fight me to the death! ”
"Master! Master! Bow and arrow! Watch out for Kure dog's bow and arrow musket! Kang Mazi's guards were all frightened, and hurriedly slapped their horses and rushed up to pull Kang Mazi's horse reins, resisted Kang Mazi's whipping, and strangled Kang Mazi's war horse, so to speak, they finally strangled Kang Mazi's war horse half a mile away from Huai'an West Gate. But at the same time, Fat Lu naturally saw Kang Mazi wearing Ming gold armor............ "Kang Mazi!" You crossed the river?! Did you really cross the river?! Fat Lu shouted in surprise: "Just now I ambushed in Qinghe County, I came back to report, saying that you may have crossed the river, and also scuttled and burned all the ferries, I thought it was fake!" It turned out to be true! You've actually crossed the river! That's great! It's really great! ”
"Lu Yifeng, dog thief!" Kang Mazi roared with blood-red eyes: "Come down, come down for me!" I'm going to fight you to the death! Whether it's an army battle or a one-on-one battle! I'm not afraid of you! ”
"Don't!" Fat Lu hurriedly shook his fat hand and shouted: "It's a one-on-one heads-up, I can't even pull a bow with a stone, and I definitely can't beat you, a rabbit terminator!" If you're really interested in going heads-up, how about I call my nephew An Jiarong to fight on my behalf? ”
"Uncle, the little nephew is willing to fight for you!" An Jiarong, who was wrapped in a bloody white cloth on his head, jumped out, brandished the Muramasa Demon Sword and roared: "Emperor Mangou, if you want to fight my uncle alone, I will fight for my uncle!" If you don't dare, you're a turtle bastard! ”
"Hahaha......!" A wild laugh suddenly sounded on the city wall of Huai'an, and Kang Mazi was so angry that his whole body trembled, and he couldn't wait to rush to the city wall immediately and chop Lu Fatzi into meat sauce!
Fat Lu waved his hand, making the soldiers of the Fat Army stop laughing, and shouted at Kang Mazi: "Kang Mazi, it's okay to fight a decisive battle, but you have to wait, my brothers have marched more than ninety miles in a hurry, and they are a little tired!" Although we are still not afraid of you, if we want to annihilate your new force, it will definitely increase casualties, so you wait patiently! Three hours, three hours later, we will go out of the city and fight you! ”
"Brothers, shout with me!" Lu Fatzi shouted: "Kang Mazi, see you in three hours, don't run if you have eggs!" You can't run anyway! ”
"Kang Mazi! See you in three hours! If you have eggs, don't run! You can't run anyway! Tens of thousands of fat soldiers shouted in unison, and the rhythm was repeated over and over again, and finally it became more than 50,000 fat soldiers in Huai'an City who shouted neatly, and the shouts went straight to the sky and spread for ten miles.
In this thunderous slogan, Kang Mazi's numb face turned pale, his numb eyes breathed fire, the green tendons on his forehead jumped violently, and he almost spat blood from his mouth again, but the surrounding mite Qing generals, guards, officials and ordinary soldiers were all silent, and the morale and fighting spirit that Kang Mazi had finally mustered up before were also swept away at this moment.
"We are in the Qing Dynasty, maybe there are only three hours left." Zhou Peigong sighed quietly in his heart.
At the same time, on the upper floor of Huai'an City, Lu Fatzi beckoned the fat army generals to the front and ordered in a low voice: "Let the soldiers seize the time to rest, eat and drink enough, and after two and a half hours, go out of the city for a decisive battle." Then send a clipper ship south, and go to the south, twenty miles to the south, to contact Han Daren's team who was resting there, so that he could also march after two and a half hours and rush to the city of Huai'an for reinforcements. ”
"Two and a half hours?" The generals of the Fat Army looked at each other and asked together, "General, didn't you just say three hours?" ”
"You pigs' heads?" Fat Lu scolded: "Tell the Emperor of the Mangou Righteousness, am I crazy or stupid?!" ”
(To be continued)
