Chapter Eighty-Seven: Misfortune Doesn't Go Alone

Hong Chengchou fainted, and the Qing army collapsed for thirty miles.

Under the escort of a group of personal guards, Hong Chengchou retreated safely.

As soon as they arrived at a safe place, several military doctors hurriedly treated Hong Chengchou.

Marching, heat stroke medicine, pinching people......

After a series of measures, Hong Chengchou woke up leisurely.

As soon as he woke up, Hong Chengchou immediately shouted: "How is the battle situation now?" ”

Hearing the shout of the main general, the guards were silent.

Hong Chengchou was ominous, raised his head and inspected it.

The guards bowed their heads and were silent, but the Qing generals glared angrily.

Hong Chengchou asked: "Defeated?" ”

When Ao Bai heard this, he immediately shouted: "If it weren't for you, a dog minion, you would have taken the head of Zheng Haikou's dog thief early in the morning." Hong Chengchou, are you guilty? ”

When the Han general Zhang Dayuan heard this, he immediately counterattacked: "If it weren't for the Qing Dynasty, how could Hong Taibo cross six provinces in three months, defeat Sun Kewang, and fight Zheng Chenggong, how could he faint from exhaustion." Hong Taibo is loyal to the Qing Dynasty, what is the crime? ”

Ao Bai scolded: "Because of this dog minion, Zheng dog thief escaped, and I suffered heavy losses this time......

Zhang Dayuan retorted: "Killing more than 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Great Western Army and killing 30,000 or 40,000 Zheng Jiajun is much better than some incompetent people." ”

When Ao Bai heard this, he immediately reflected on it, and these minions turned out to be sarcastic generals, and he was immediately furious: "What are you talking about......"

Zhang Dayuan, Ma Leopard, and Liu Fangming stood together against the full generals.

For a time, there was tension in the small military tent, and the atmosphere was tense.

Hong Chengchou looked at it and shouted, "Shut up!" ”

Hearing the boss's order, General Man and General Qing stopped scolding each other and looked at Hong Chengchou.

Hong Chengchou pondered for a while and said, "What is the situation of Zheng Jiajun now?" ”

Zhang Dayuan replied: "Back to the general, according to the report of the spies, the Zheng family army is retreating towards Anqing!" ”

When Hong Chengchou heard this, he sighed and said, "Order the army to rest for half a day, and then set off to attack Anqing!" ”

Shocked, he said, "My lord, your body? ”

Hong Chengchou shook his head and said, "My body is fine, our army has suffered heavy losses, and the Zheng family army will definitely not be much better." This is the best time to capture Zheng Chenggong, don't miss it! ”

Ao Bai sarcastically said: "Hong Taibo's body is so weak, it is better to recuperate with peace of mind." You don't need to worry about attacking Anqing this time, so let me come! ”

Hong Chengchou ignored Aobai's ridicule, and still said indifferently: "There is the concern of General Manager Laoao, Hong is in good health, this time the matter is very important, it is better to let Hong preside." ”

After saying that he didn't wait for Aobai's reply, Hong Chengchou ordered: "All the soldiers go down to prepare, and set off in three hours!" ”

Wait for the unison to shout: "Order!" ”

Ao Bai was furious when he saw it, but he was helpless.

Hong Chengchou is the boss in the end, if Ao Bai dares to disobey, he can directly kill him with seven prohibitions and fifty-four beheadings, and behead him in front of the army.

……

In Anqing City, when the Zheng family army returned to the city, the people of Anqing were surprised.

When he set off in the morning, Zheng Jiajun was elated and had a high temperament.

Why is it that when I come back now, the camp is full of wounds, and the number of people has dropped sharply.

For a time, rumors spread in Anqing City.

The Huang Ting, who stayed behind, could only send troops to control it, and martial law began in Baoqing City.

Doctors in the city were all drawn to treat the wounded. hired more than 1,000 young men to go to the battlefield to clean up the corpses of the Zheng family soldiers who died in battle.

The civilian, military and military generals were too busy to touch the ground.

After comforting the wounded soldiers from the medicine hall, Zheng Chenggong returned to the government office in Anqing.

Wang Zhongxiao ran around and finally completed the casualty statistics report.

"Wang Qibang,

"The king of the Iron Cavalry Town, Yang Zu and Yang Zheng of the Iron Armored Army, Lan Yan of Qianchong Town, Zhang Ying, Lin Sheng, Chen Kui of Zhongjun Town, and Pan Gengzhong, the household officer of the army...... Tragically killed! ”

"Four thousand eight hundred and fifty-nine men were killed in the Iron Cavalry Town, five thousand Iron Armor troops were killed, and 16,497 sword and shield soldiers were killed...... General, this time our army suffered heavy casualties, with a total of 41,366 casualties. ”

Hearing this casualty data, Zheng Chenggong felt a heartache in his heart.

These are veterans of a hundred battles!

They are all the mainstays of the army, and they will suffer this defeat because of their carelessness and pride.

Self-blame and remorse filled Zheng Chenggong's heart.

Seeing that the general was silent, Wang Zhongxiao said: "The general ......"

Zheng Chenggong waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, you continue!" ”

Wang Zhongxiao heard this and continued: "Our army suffered heavy casualties, but the Qing army did not flee to the benefit this time, and the casualties were heavier than ours. According to the statistics of corpses, a total of more than 128,900 Qing soldiers were killed. General, now because of the casualties of our army, rumors are spreading in Anqing City, and the people in the city are panicking, and many rich families have fled from the city with their families and want to take refuge in other places. General, the lower officials thought that it was better to display the golden drums and banners of the Qing army captured by our army on the battlefield in the city, so that the people could watch, and at the same time vigorously publicize the achievements of our army, so that the people could rest assured! ”

"Well, Changru, you can do this!"

"Yes, General!"

Wang Zhongxiao went out to run errands, and Zheng Chenggong fell silent again.

After a long time, Zheng Chenggong said: "Fufu, after this battle, does our army still have the ability to continue to attack Huguang?" ”

Chen Yonghua shook his head and said, "General, after attacking the city and seizing the land, you need soldiers and horses to garrison it. Occupying Anhui and Jiangsu provinces, our army's strength is already stretched. If you continue to attack Huguang, even if you can capture it, there will be no soldiers and horses to garrison. At that time, the Qing army will return to the division to fight back, won't it be self-defeating? ”

Zheng Chenggong was even more remorseful when he heard it, if he didn't divide his troops and not be proud, the current situation would not be like this.

Chen Yonghua arched his hand and persuaded him: "General, our army has been fighting for many years, it's time to take a break and recuperate!" ”

Zheng Chenggong sighed and said, "Well, I remember Fufu's words!" ”

In order to better implement Wang Zhongxiao's strategy, Zheng Chenggong took the guard battalion to ride a snow-white BMW, from the west gate of Baoqing City, beating gongs and drums, and behind the army was more than a dozen cars of the Qing army's golden drum banner.

The people help the old and the young, and look forward to the road,

Looking at so many bloodstained flags, the people exclaimed.

Fifty or sixty helpers who had already benefited crowded into the crowd, "You know what? This time, the Zheng family army killed more than 100,000 Qing troops, and if you see it, those instruments and golden drums were captured! ”

"Zheng Jiajun has defeated the Qing army again, Zheng Chenggong is not a loss to Daming Yue Pengju!"

……

If it was just for help, the people might not believe it, but when they saw so many Qing army equipment and banners, they couldn't help but not believe it.

After killing so many Qing troops, it is normal for the Zheng family army to have casualties, and it can only be said that in this battle, the Zheng family army fought very fiercely.

The people, who were still worried, have calmed down and returned to their normal daily lives.

Zheng Chenggong finished his show in the city, and as soon as he returned to the mansion, as soon as he sat down, a spy came panting and panting, "General, it's not good, the Qing army is here!" (To be continued.) )
