Chapter 689: The Battle of Ningyuan Collision (Part II)
"Reply to adults!" The slender sentry knelt on the ground and shouted without raising his head, "The little one is watching the battlefield from a distance, and everywhere there is the sound of thunder when firearms are fired. The sound of shouting and killing on the entire battlefield was deafening. The battlefield was smoky, and it was not clear what the specific battle situation was. However, there is no doubt that Jianyu is attacking in a big way. ”
"Lord Wu." Although he was a eunuch, Gao Di, who had glued himself with a fake beard, came to Wu Xiang's side. Bending down the tall figure that was rare among the eunuchs, he whispered, "Shall we go?" ”
Both of these are the winners of the Liaoning West Marathon Championships. He is extremely good at running away from battle, and he is even more skilled at abandoning friendly troops or something. In the past battles, as long as the battlefield form was slightly wrong, they had disappeared and even the shadow of the person could not be seen. Not to mention their own people, even the Manchu Iron Cavalry can't catch up with them!
At this moment, I heard that the Jianyu were attacking Gaoyang's headquarters. Gao Di couldn't stay any longer, and his instinctive reaction was generally to start the game, and at the same time he hurried over to pull Wu Xiang to run together.
Wu Xiang gently twisted the gray beard on his chin, and after a little groaning, he shook his head slightly and said, "I don't think that national teacher is like a person who talks about it and doesn't understand human feelings at all. Although the new army under his command was only a short time old, it was well-trained and well-equipped. Not to be underestimated. Even defeat won't be so fast. Since the battle has been engaged in front of us at this moment, and the national teacher has not asked us to come forward to respond, then we will wait here. "Wu Xiang's subtext is that our side is far away, and as long as the results are sorted out in front, we can run at any time. It doesn't have to be at this time.
Wu Xiang's heart is very clear that at this moment, it is impossible for Daming to take out military horses from other places and throw them into this bottomless pit in western Liaoning. The imperial court has even run out of troops at the moment. The military horses in the hands of himself and others are already the last force of this imperial court. And even running away this time doesn't make any sense. Because even if they fled back to Shanhaiguan, they still had to surrender when the Jianyu army entered the customs. It doesn't matter if you run or not.
As for Gao Yang's ability to win this kind of thing, he didn't even think about it. Over the years, the Ming army has fought bloody battles with the Manchus in this western Liaoxi for many years, and it can really be said that it has been defeated repeatedly. The loss of his teacher and land had already made him disheartened. Winning battles is such a thing as nothing more than boasting about it in the recital. Don't even think about it.
They didn't wait long, and before noon, the spies who had gone ahead to inquire about the news returned. Listen to the sound of the horse's hooves. Wu Xiang's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at the sentries who were hurrying not far away!
The cavalry cherished their horses more than their own lives. This was especially true among the Ming army, which had a shortage of war horses. At this moment, those sentinels rushed to the scene in such a hurry. That must be a very important thing! Could it be that the front was defeated? But even if you lose, it won't be so fast, right? The captives want to besiege Ningyuan City, and it is impossible for the whole army to meet the battle. If you break the sky, it is one or two thousand people. And Gaoyang, that's 40,000 horses! Even 40,000 pigs wouldn't be caught so quickly, would they?
"Alas~~~" Gao Di on the side suddenly sighed, "Our family is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and left the palace to come to this place in western Liaoxi to fight with that Jianyu." Ask yourself if you are worthy of the emperor. Where would have thought of today's results! Gao Di is also a person who understands, and he also knows that he and others have no way back. After Wu Sangui in Ningyuan City couldn't bear it anymore, it would be their turn. After that, either surrender and save your life, or be loyal to your country! There is simply no other choice.
Just when Wu Xiang and Gao Di were worried about the near future. Before the sentries who came on horseback had not yet entered the camp, they had already begun to cheer loudly: "Great victory! Great victory!! We've won! Won!!!!! ”
The screams of the sentinels resounded throughout the barracks! Everyone was stunned, and they couldn't react for a while.
"Smack!" With a sound, the whip in Wu Xiang's hand fell to the ground. His eyes widened to the maximum, and his hands trembled like a swing. Pale complexion. His lips trembled, and he muttered, "Win?" How can it be?! Gao Di on the side was not as good as him, and his body was shaking even more. If it weren't for the support of the family members on the side, he almost fell on his stomach.
"My lord! Won the battle ahead!! The sentry probe rode his horse in front of Wu Xiang, flew off the horse, and didn't care about the rules of the army, knelt on the ground and looked up at Wu Xiang directly. He shouted happily, "Won the battle!" ”
"Huh~~~" This whistle probe is Wu Xiang's cronies, and he said that if he wins, he will really win. I don't know why, at this moment, Wu Xiang suddenly felt extremely relaxed, as if he was suddenly twenty years younger, and he couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief in his heart. How many years has this been? Since the victory of Ningjin that year. The Ming army no longer had any decent victories. Almost every battle with the Manchus was defeated. At this moment, in such a difficult and almost desperate situation, he actually won! Even if it is only a partial division of Jianyu that wins.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Gao Di on the side suddenly shouted, "Have you ever confirmed?" If you lie about the military situation, our family will not spare you! ”
"Reply to adults!" The sentry probe was Wu Xiang's family member. And not afraid of Gaudí. However, he still replied very respectfully, "It is indeed a victory." The army of Jianyu attacked, and was beaten to the ground with corpses strewn with muskets. After the cavalry attacking on the left broke the formation, the prisoners with yellow flags ran away, and the rest all blew up the battalion. When we come back, the army is covering up all the way! Definitely a big win! Lie. ”
"Hahaha~~~" Gao Di looked up to the sky and smiled, "Win!" Win!! Hahaha~~~"
"Tall, sir." Wu Xiang, who regained his composure, turned his head sideways and smiled, "Let's hurry up and catch up, and congratulate the national teacher." "Wu Xiang's subtext is, let's hurry up and follow. Maybe you can get some benefits. No matter how bad it is, you have to add your name to the concerto. Anyway, if you run away, that's the end, but if you can really find another way, then who wants to be someone else's minion?
"Yes, yes. What Lord Wu said was very true. Gao Di, who had been in the officialdom for a long time, understood in an instant. hurriedly answered.
......
By the time Wu Xiang and Gao Di hurried to the Gaoyang military camp with their men, the sky had gradually darkened. It's getting dark.
The first thing that caught their eyes was the piles of hideous heads! More than a hundred real Tartar heads were placed in a separate pile. The heads of more than a thousand Mongols are also separated from the heads of those clothed minions. With so many heads stacked on top of each other, just looking at them gives people an extremely terrifying sense of excitement.
"Princess!" Gao Di, who was looking at these heads with horror, suddenly saw an acquaintance. Hurriedly turned over, dismounted, and hurried over to salute.
"Yo~~~" Wang Chengen, who was carefully checking the authenticity of the first rank with the small officials of the military department, turned around after hearing the voice, and saw Gao Di with a smile on his face leaning over.
Without waiting for Gao Di's flattering words to come out, Wang Chengen had already proudly picked his chin and said lightly, "Isn't this General Gao?" What is the wind that has brought your old man here? ”
Although they are all eunuchs, the world of eunuchs is also not peaceful, and they are also a changing world. Originally, Wang Chengen and Gao Di didn't deal with each other much. At this time, I saw Gao Di, who was hiding far away before the war, and when he saw that he had won, he ran over and wanted to share some credit. Of course, Wang Chengen would not give him a good look.
"Hehe, hehe~~~" Gao Di was also embarrassed. After all, I really didn't expect to win. It is a normal choice to hide in the distance for the sake of your life. But at this time, it will be extremely embarrassing. Gao didn't know what to say now, so he could only scratch his head and smile bitterly.
Wu Xiang, who was still following behind, relieved him of the siege. Wu Xiang took two steps forward and came to Wang Chengen's side to make a big salute, and said in an extremely sincere tone: "The last general congratulates his father-in-law." The father-in-law wore armor and held a halberd, and he personally braved the arrow stone to defeat the captive. This battle raised the prestige of our country, and the blood of the soldiers killed was like a river. Chengguo Dynasty is excited about the great victory, if the emperor knows it, he will definitely be happy. ”
Wu Xiang's praise made Wang Chengen very useful, especially when he mentioned that the emperor would be happy, which tickled the itch in his heart. For these eunuchs, there was nothing more important than making the emperor happy. They are all the Emperor's retainers! (Not a minion.) The slave is my Qing Dynasty. )
Wang Chengen nodded, and laughed heartily. Immediately found out that the scene was not right at this time, and hurriedly covered his mouth and coughed to cover up. Breathing a sigh of relief, he squinted his eyes at Gao Di, and said with a smile, "Our family didn't do anything, they were all well commanded by the national teachers, and the sergeants under his command were not afraid of death and contributed to the country." Our family is just a little bold, and we dare to cheer for the sergeants behind this military formation. ”
As soon as these words came out, not only Gao Di, but even Wu Xiang was full of embarrassment. After all, he and Wu Xiang were the ones who hid in the distance and were ready to escape at any time. Fortunately, Wang Chengen was not stunned without eyesight, and after a few words of ridicule, he expressed his emotions and took them to see Gao Yang.
The soldiers brought by Wu Xiang and Gao Di were camped on the side, waiting for the arrival of the follow-up troops. While looking at the piles of heads piled up with envy and fear! No matter how bad they are, they are still soldiers! Seeing this human head, which symbolizes victory and military exploits, will naturally come alive with thoughts. If it weren't for the victory of the new army, they would never have dared to get so close!
"Congratulations to the national teacher, the national teacher is really a model for our generation of martial artists!" Wu Xiangdu was already a lot old, and as soon as he entered the Chinese army's tent, he immediately knelt down in front of Gao Yang and congratulated him loudly.
Wu Xiang made a fuss, and Gao Di had to kneel down and say congratulations. These are all real local officials, and being able to treat them like this is enough to see that Gao Yang's prestige has been established.
Sure enough, in the troubled times, it is still necessary to use force to suppress everything. (To be continued)
