Chapter 44: Victory
The bearded general and the general of the left battalion were not ashamed that nearly a hundred artillery pieces fired only thirty shells, on the contrary, they were satisfied. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It is not surprising that the officers and men of the Green Battalion have become accustomed to this state of affairs, and this is a kind of atmosphere in the Green Battalion.
The Green Battalion soldiers are almost the kind of soldiers who do not do their jobs with a salary, but more than half of the military pay will be deducted by officers such as generals. This made the soldiers even more unacceptable, of course, the soldiers were not willing to train well, and the officers would cope with the errands above, but they would not spend more time training the soldiers, after all, training soldiers requires a lot of money and food.
In half an hour, the Zhenwu army threw hundreds of shells at Pan Fei's camp, which definitely caused a certain amount of lethality, and most importantly, dealt a serious blow to the enemy's momentum.
However, the bearded general and the general of the left battalion were dumbfounded, and looked at the scout in front of them in great surprise.
The bearded man said angrily, "Say it again, what the hell is going on? ”
The scout said tremblingly, "General, many of our shells fell into the opponent's formation and did not explode at all, and even if they exploded, they would not be lethal. ”
The bearded general instantly sat down on the ground, "It's over, it's all over, what should I do?" "Looks very flustered.
When the scout looked at the general like this, he felt extremely sad in his heart, and his face was like ashes. Seeing no hope of victory, how do you want the soldiers to trust you. The scout silently withdrew from the camp, but he didn't want to see the bearded general again.
In the eyes of this scout, this is simply a waste general, and there are such generals in the army, it is strange that he can not defeat the battle. The scout let out a long sigh and walked quickly out of the camp.
After Pan Fei got the accurate news, he sighed, and finally knew that he was not suitable for commanding troops to fight, but he would not admit defeat, and he still had more than 10,000 soldiers.
Pan Fei immediately ordered to gather a large army and prepare for a desperate battle to do the final battle.
Pan Fei stood in front of the army and shouted loudly, "You are all warriors of the Qing Dynasty, and now the rebel Li Zhongju is in front of us, we should show the courage to move forward, not afraid of sacrifice, not afraid of bloodshed, and kill all the enemy troops." ”
The shouts of the "No" armies shook the heavens and the earth.
Li Zhongju looked at the enemy army and came out in formation, a little surprised, could it be that Pan Fei really doesn't understand military affairs, at this time, what Pan Fei should do is to avoid the edge of the Zhenwu army.
The enemy army did not choose to hold out, but was ready to fight to the death, and inevitably thought too highly of themselves.
Li Zhongju immediately began to arrange, the artillery stopped firing, and Liu Jiang and Song Mingren led the 1st Zhenwu Regiment and the Lieshan Battalion respectively to meet the enemy's attack.
Thousands of cavalry of the Green Battalion rushed towards the Zhenwu army in anger, but they were often shot off their horses by the Zhenwu army halfway through, and they were extremely embarrassed.
But the Green Battalion cavalry still rushed forward without fear, although it was only a senseless sacrifice, but they had no choice.
The more than 2,000 musketeers in the rear of the Green Battalion cavalry also slowly pressed forward, and the speed was relatively slow compared to the cavalry. However, their advance speed was still quite fast, and in the blink of an eye, they exchanged fire with the Zhenwu army.
Li Zhongju saw that the other party's musketeers had already attacked, and immediately asked Zhou Tiezhu to lead a thousand elites from the town camp to support Liu Jiang and Song Naruto, although neither of them needed support, but Li Zhongju considered that this could reduce a lot of casualties.
Flesh and blood are flying, gunpowder smoke is filled, stump arms and legs are broken, and there are countless tragic situations, which make people ensure that vomiting for three days and three nights will not be a problem after watching it.
But for the soldiers on the battlefield, it is commonplace, they still enjoy this smell of blood, the soldiers are proud of the horse leather shroud, and proud of the battlefield death.
Bang bang bang, ah! Oops, it hurts me......
Voices filled the battlefield, making it unbearable to look at them, but the battle continued as usual.
With the passage of time, finally the Zhenwu army completely gained the upper hand, and the green battalion had begun a large-scale rout, Li Zhongju watched all this and knew that Pan Fei's army was finished.
Pan Fei watched all this in shock, and his heart was full of infinite sadness, Your Majesty, the old minister has insulted Your Majesty's Holy Trust.
In the end, Pan Fei was helped onto his horse by the emaciated general and several generals, and fled with hundreds of remnants, and Li Zhongju did not choose to pursue, but ordered a quick end to the battle.
On the afternoon of April 26, the war that lasted for several days finally ended, and the Zhenwu army defeated Pan Fei's army, but this scene was incredible.
It has to be said that it is a miracle that thousands of armies defeated tens of thousands of troops, and of course miracles have been countless since ancient times.
In the Battle of Guandu at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao's more than 10 troops with only 20,000 elite troops. In the Battle of Julu, Xiang Yu defeated the 400,000 Qin army with 20,000.
In the Battle of Chibi, Zhou Yu defeated the 200,000 army of Cao Cao, a generation of traitors, with an army of 50,000. In the Battle of Weishui, Xie Xuan defeated Fu Jian's 970,000 army with only 80,000 troops.
Compared with these classic battles, Li Zhongju's war is not unacceptable.
Li Zhongju led the army to escort thousands of captives back to Danjiang County, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and finally took another successful step.
Li Zhongju raised his hand and began to deal with the aftermath of the war, looking at the number of casualties, Li Zhongju felt a heartache. However, all the consolation money still needs to be returned to Zhenyuan Mansion and then distributed to their families.
Besides, Pan Fei was taken away by the emaciated general and others, and a day later, when he arrived in the middle of Duyun Mansion, Pan Fei woke up and cried, and immediately began to think about how to take revenge.
Pan Fei knew that Guizhou Province could not stay for the time being, so he could only enter Guangxi Province from Duyun Mansion. Pan Fei acted resolutely, and immediately led hundreds of remnants of the army to ransack a village, replenish grain and grass for the army, and immediately rushed towards Guangxi Province.
As early as three days ago, that is, on April 23, Wang Jie, the governor of Guizhou, raised 5,000 troops from Anshun Mansion to attack Guiyang.
Since Pan Fei, the governor of Guizhou, took almost all the soldiers who could fight, the defenders of Guiyang were too few and too weak. And the generals who stayed behind to defend the city were still Wang Jie's old subordinates, knowing that they were unable to defend the city, they immediately ordered the troops to surrender.
After Wang Jiebing took Guiyang without blood, he immediately sent a letter to Li Zhongju.
On April 28, Li Zhongju got the news of Wang Jie in Zhenyuan Mansion, and immediately laughed and said, "General Wang is so old-fashioned. ”
Li Zhongju immediately replied to the letter, asking Wang Jie to stabilize the officials, landlords and people in the city first, and he would rush to Guiyang within ten days.
Li Zhongju immediately began to arrange the affairs of Zhenyuan Mansion, promoted Li Yi to the governor of Zhenyuan Mansion, and at the same time let Liu Jiang and the First Army of Zhenwu stay in Zhenyuan Mansion to guard Zhenyuan Mansion.
Li Zhongju led the Red Sword Battalion, the Red Sword Battalion, the Zhen Military Camp and Li Ran's 1,000 recruits towards their new destination, Guiyang Mansion.
