Chapter 1117: Heavy losses
readx; "Hahahaha!"
Looking at the billowing smoke rising from the Qing army camp a mile behind him, Gao Shangyi and the Qing army under him, as well as all the ordinary people who transported the grain, all laughed wildly!
It turns out that this general is not noble and righteous at all, but Jin Tongwu, the general of the Ming army! He immediately shouted, "Folks! Maybe when the Tartars will catch up, let's stop pushing these broken cars, bury them in the snow and run! ”
Fortunately, there was a shallow ditch next to the dirt road from the oil press town to Luanzhou City, and everyone pushed the cart directly into the ditch, and then pushed the snow and buried it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info (.23w[x].Now the snow is still falling, it won't be long before these traces will be covered, Jin Tongwu looked at it and said with satisfaction: "Okay, everyone has made a great contribution today, go back to Luanzhou City to find General Dingnan, please reward!" ”
The crowd was also so excited that they shouted and immediately ran south. In fact, they had been busy for several hours, and they were already exhausted. But everyone knows that this place is too close to the Tartar camp, as long as the Tartars find that something is wrong and catch up, no one will want to live, so they will burst out with their greatest potential, and they will run back to Luanzhou in less than half an hour.
It does not explain how the army and the people will celebrate after their return, but it is said that the commander of the Qing army and the owner of the white flag, Amin, was eating and drinking with his generals in the warm rich man's house, and the Chinese army suddenly reported that the Nanying granary was on fire.
Although Amin was already five or six minutes drunk, he still understood the importance of military rations, and immediately rushed out in stride. As soon as he went out, he saw the fire in the direction of the granary, and knew that the fire must be not small, so he couldn't help but be furious, and hurriedly ordered his men to put out the fire.
But this fire started from the inside of the granary, and when the fire was seen outside, the grain stacks inside had already been ignited, and the fire was in full swing at this time, how could it be saved? When Amin and the others arrived at the scene, let alone fighting the fire, the fire had scorched the surrounding air so hot that they couldn't even get close. Fortunately, the granary and other military tents were not next to each other, otherwise the company camp would have been burned.
This granary is one of the three granaries in the Qing army's camp, and now it has been burned down by a fire, can Amin not be angry? He immediately ordered someone to arrest several Han army banner soldiers guarding the granary, and at this time, these unlucky eggs had not yet woken up, snoring like thunder, and the smell of alcohol was exuding from their bodies. Amin was furious and kicked several times according to several people, but the other party did not react like a dead dog.
"It must be these damn Han people who accidentally caught fire after drinking and burned down the entire granary!" The white flag general Niyaha jumped like thunder and said, "Master, we shouldn't use these cheap seeds at all!" ”
Amin was also angry and remorseful at this time, and roared: "Behead these dogs immediately!" ”
Until the head hits the ground, these unlucky traitors don't know what happened. It's true that they drank wine, but ordinary wine doesn't make them drunk like that. It was Jin Tongwu who put sweat medicine in the wine, which kept them unconscious.
These people had just been beheaded, but another white-flaged general, Amin's very important think tank, Kazhu, frowned and muttered: "Strange, even if these people are drunk, according to military regulations, there must be nothing to ignite within ten zhang of the granary." Unless these people deliberately set the fire, how can they get up? ”
Amin also suddenly woke up and wanted to interrogate again, but these people's heads had already fallen off, and he couldn't help but regret it.
Kazhu analyzed: "Besides, if someone set the fire, it can't be these people. Because the safety of the granary is their duty, if the granary is lost, they will definitely be guilty of death. Could it be someone else who set the fire? ”
Niyaha immediately patted her head and said, "That's right! Didn't Luanzhou City send someone to deliver food just now? ”
Amin hurriedly ordered people to find the Qing army that sent food, but at this time, Jin Tongwu and his party had already run away. searched and searched, and found Zhao Fengchun, who was in charge of guarding the south gate of the camp.
Zhao Fengchun saw that Niyaha and other Manchurian generals glared at him angrily, and at a glance, he knew that they were going to push the responsibility for the fire on the Han army flag, and it was even possible to buckle it on his head, so he couldn't help but be frightened, and stammered: "Master, General Gao of Luanzhou City is here to deliver military supplies today, but everything is the same as usual, until they finish sending them out of the camp, the granary is all good, and this fire was ignited later!" The minions don't dare to deceive! ”
Amin asked some of the nearby White Flag soldiers, and they said the same. Amin couldn't help but be suspicious again, thinking that the fire was still an accidental accident.
Kazhu blinked his slender eyes and muttered: "Master, it stands to reason that Luanzhou City is close at hand, and it is unlikely that Gao Shangyi will be opposed, but the slave is still a little unsteady. It's better to send someone to summon him to confront him, if he dares to come, it means that he has no ghost in his heart, and the lost grain will be transported more by Luanzhou City. If he didn't dare to come, the minions immediately sent troops to kill him, so that the Han people would know that the master could not be bullied! ”
Zhao Fengchun hurriedly said to Amin flatteringly: "Master, the slave dares to guarantee with the head of the item, General Gao has no objection!" The slave will go to Luanzhou now, call General Gao to explain, and ask for the master's permission! ”
Amin pondered for a long time, thinking that although these Han soldiers were not very good in combat, they had been loyal to the Manchus since they surrendered, and he did not believe that Gao Shangyi dared to deliberately set fires. Moreover, these Han people have a close relationship with each other, like the old Gao family and the old Zhao family, there are in-laws, and it is normal for Zhao Fengchun to protect the noble and righteous. If the blame is attributed to Gao Shangyi without evidence, I am afraid that thousands of other Han army banner soldiers will be unconvinced. Now that his own white flag hangs alone, he still needs these good dogs to fight, so he can't be too arbitrary.
Therefore, Amin slowly spoke: "Since you say so, then you should hurry up and chase Gao Shangyi back!" ”
Zhao Fengchun was overjoyed, and after thanking Amin, he immediately led more than 50 Han army banner cavalry out of the south gate and chased them out along the dirt road.
But until the next day, when the sky was bright and the snow was open, not to mention noble righteousness, even Zhao Fengchun was gone. Amin couldn't help but be furious: "Damn barbarian, it's really the opposite!" Niyaha, you lead five Niu Lu to Luanzhou, and arrest Gao Shangyi and Zhao Fengchun for me, and kill anyone who dares to resist! ”
Niyaha immediately took the order, but after a while, he hurried back to the big tent, and said in a panic: "Master, it's not good, our war horses are sick!" ”
Amin was taken aback, and hurriedly followed Niyaha to a nearby manger, and sure enough, he saw that the more than 20 war horses here were all languishing, and some of them were even surging vigorously.
"What's going on?" Amin's brain has seen sweat, for the Eight Banners Army, war horses are their lives!
"Ever since I ate the forage sent by Luanzhou City yesterday, I've been like this," a soldier with a white flag replied timidly.
"Ah!!h Amin screamed angrily and kicked the soldier out of a somersault!
