Chapter 414: Flee North!
"Return, General Li, what's the situation in the east?" Chen Tianbao replied with a salute and asked Li Dashuang. [Full text reading]
"It's okay, the last general has already made all the arrangements, and two battalions of troops have been deployed near the mouth of the river, it is that Ruan Fuying wants to flee to the east, but there is no way." After Li Dashuang finished saluting, he took off his hat, revealing his shaved head, and reached out to wipe the sweat on his forehead. In comparison, because Chen Tianbao has to travel between the mainland frequently, although the braids have been shaved, but he still has no hair for the time being, anyway, it doesn't matter if he doesn't have braids, when he returns to the mainland, he just wears a hat with a fake braid on the back.
In fact, during this period, not to mention the Han Chinese, even the banner people of the Manchu Qing Dynasty quietly became popular to shave off their braid with bad hair quality and color, and then get a thick and black fake braid, just like those women in later generations wore wigs and Western men, and even some princes Baylor did the same.
Especially those old people, when they are older, their hair falls out a lot, their hair is dry and crippled, they are dignified and princes, and they have gorgeous brocade clothes on their bodies, but the braid behind their heads is like the grass roots in autumn, isn't it too much of a bad scenery?
So, nowadays, as long as you're not satisfied with the hair on your head and the black thing behind your head, you don't usually have anyone on the street with a knife to see if you have braids. And among Liang Pengfei's subordinates, those who have stayed overseas for a long time, have all shaved off the nasty money rat tail at the back of their heads. However, in the army, the hair is not allowed to be long, all of them are the same as Li Dashuang, shaving such a short inch of the head, it looks spirited, and it will not affect the wearing of combat helmets and military caps, and, in the tropical rainforest area, in the humid and hot environment, if you really have long hair, I am afraid that it will become a sauerkraut jar in two days, I am afraid that it will be more stinky than a sock that has not been washed for half a month, and even Liang Pengfei's order has not been hindered in any way, and some people simply shave their heads, Save yourself on getting some fleas and stuff like that.
"Now I just hope this guy can be clever and escape from the north." Chen Tianbao stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and said with a headache: "I hope he will run away as we think." ”
"Who knows, however, the intelligence officers inside have no way to give us information now, so, for the time being, I don't know Ruan Phuc Ying's movements, it stands to reason that Ruan Phuc Ying's people are quite persevering, and they are tenacious, in the past, after the three Ruan Van Hue brothers almost occupied Annam, he was defeated and left, but he was still able to persevere, more than ten years later, he finally had the territory of the Southern Dynasty, and he was indeed a talent, but unfortunately, he met our young master." Li Dashuang's temperament is much calmer now than when he was chopping firewood in Liang Pengfei's barracks, and he also knows how to not only rely on the knife and gun in his hand to speak, but also know how to think about problems with his own mind.
--------------------
"Yes, but for now, I only hope that Nguyen Phuc Anh can escape from the city and sneak to Cambodia or Siam, so that in the future, when the adults want to use troops against Siam or the Kingdom of Cambodia, there will be sufficient reasons and excuses." Chen Tianbao subconsciously reached out and touched his chin, and after his fingers touched the smooth chin, he remembered that his long fluttering beard had been trimmed, and he couldn't help but withdraw his hand behind him with some embarrassment.
Seeing Chen Tianbao's actions, Li Dashuang secretly held back a smile, but his face did not show it, and continued to ask: "But General Chen, is our army a little weak for those Siam, now, Siam's partial division left in Xiangao, and our army has been in contact with our army several times, our army has been retreating, and now, they have all returned to Xiangao, if they continue to retreat, even if it will not arouse Siam's suspicion, but the morale of our army is not good, besides, when the time comes, the port country will be fluctuating." ”
"Our bottom line is just to give up the periphery of Xiangao, at least let the King of Siam think that we are nothing more than that, otherwise, if he dares to take in that Nguyen Phuc Anh, besides, as long as he takes in this person, with the name of Nguyen Phuc Anh as the lord of the Southern Dynasty of Annan, Siam will have the name of seizing the old land of Annam, and that Rama I is a person who is good at taking risks, otherwise, how can he dare to mutiny and usurp power? Therefore, the old man expected that the king of Siam would be moved by his words, and when the time came, wouldn't it be in line with the adult's intentions? ”
Chen Tianbao's explanation made Li Dashuang feel a little relieved, and at this moment, time is slowly passing by minute by second, under the north gate of Jiading City, a cavalry team has been assembled, the leader is nearly fifty years old, the figure is a little fat old man, but the body is covered with ordinary soldier armor, but the whole body still exudes a long time in the upper position, commanding the majesty, this person, is the Na'an Nan Nan Dynasty lord Ruan Fu Ying, at this moment, he sat on horseback, silent, but his eyes on the yin and fierce, and the unwillingness on his face, revealing his mood at the moment.
Beside him, there was a young man in his twenties, but at the moment his expression was much more nervous, and even large drops of sweat were dripping on his face.
"Wang'er, don't be nervous, as long as you can escape from Jiading with me and rush to Xining City, where there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers and a large number of supplies. Although I lost Jiading, what are I afraid of, the situation of the past is more bleak than now, I can still regain the country, this time, if it weren't for the old man Zheng Lianchang who lived up to my trust, the port country actually secretly communicated with the Northern Dynasty, I have the worship of today, hum, I will definitely be able to make a comeback, I will definitely let those people pay the due price. He glanced at the young eldest son's gentle words and persuasion, but Ruan Fuying's heart sighed secretly, it seems that this child is used to being peaceful and prosperous, and he is too pampered.
"Father, rest assured, the sons will definitely follow their father and repeat the prosperity of my Annan in the past." When the crown prince Ruan Phuc Yen heard his father's words, he couldn't help but feel refreshed, and replied at the moment.
At this moment, a general who ran down from the city knelt down in front of Nguyen Phuc Anh horse, who was disguised as a cavalryman: "Your Majesty, it has been confirmed that the number of enemy troops in the north is far less than that in the west and east. ”
"It seems that those people really want to come to the last battle of the three and one, but it is exactly what I want, Aiqing, Jiading City will be entrusted to you, if you can't do it, I will allow you to open the city and accept it." Ruan Fuying stroked his beard and smiled faintly, then jumped off the horse, stretched out his hand and stroked the general, Wen Yan said. Although he has been in a high position for a long time and his body has begun to gain weight, Ruan Fuying is still quick and brisk.
Hearing that Ruan Fuying's words, the general couldn't help but be moved, his eyes were tearful and he bowed to the ground again, and kowtowed again and again: "Your Majesty, the minister can't defend against a strong enemy for His Majesty, it's already damned, how can you let those traitors of the Northern Dynasty take my Beijing Division, and the minister is willing to fight to the death, so as to live up to Your Majesty's trust." ”
--------------------
Ruan Fuying sighed lightly, and helped the general up again with a face full of relief: "I am very relieved to serve the heart of death, but if the general and these elites of a hundred battles all die here, how can I bear it in my heart, and I can be at peace in my heart." Besides, this time I came to the country because of the rebellion of the Qing traitor, and the country is in danger, and then I hunt in Xining in the north, there will be a return, if Qing and others have abandoned me at that time, I ......" In the end, Ruan Fuying gritted his teeth: "If Qing is really a loyal person, I hope that Qing will lead the order, and I can't do anything. ”
The general finally understood what his master meant at this time, in a word, first surrender, and later, when Ruan Phuc Anh led the army to renegotiate Jiading, he rebelled against the new master and returned to the arms of the old master, in a word, he was allowed to become a second and fifth boy.
The general pondered for a long time, and finally reluctantly agreed to Ruan Phuc Ying before Ruan Phuc Ying became impatient, and at this time, the sky was already getting dark, and it was already twilight. At this time, Ruan Phuc Anh and his subordinates suddenly heard a dense and outrageous roar from the east and west directions, Ruan Phuc Anh's face couldn't help but turn white again, he knew that the other party had already begun to launch the final attack.
The east and west city gates have long been submerged in the sea of fire, and one by one, the cannonballs, as if they have eyes, fell on the vicinity of the city gate tower with great precision, and the soldiers of the Ruan Dynasty who had been waiting on the city gate tower were buried in the sea of fire like hell molten slurry gushing.
At this time, the north gate of the city of Jiading suddenly opened, and after that, a large group of people of Jiading poured out of the city, crying and howling and fleeing in all directions towards the wilderness outside the city. Among them, a group of about a group of hundreds of knights, very carefully sandwiched among those people, took advantage of the cover of the twilight, rushed out of the Lixu, suddenly accelerated, and rushed towards the soldiers of the Northern Dynasty who had begun to appear in the field of vision.
Although there were a lot of Northern Dynasty soldiers who intercepted, but it may have been to see those knights murderous and desperate, and they were timid in their hearts, and they only resisted a little, but where could they stop the cavalry that still belonged to the powerful army in this era, and soon, they were like a red-hot sharp knife, easily cutting through the encirclement formed by those Northern Dynasty soldiers, and then in the cheers and rejoicing, they rushed towards a path deep into the dense forest in the north of Najiading City.
And when Chen Tianbao and the others received this news, their faces finally showed a relaxed look, and they gave the order to the herald next to them for a final general attack.
