Chapter 199: Brother Ma, don't go
"What did you say, ran away?"
Yang Feng looked at a green battalion officer in front of him in amazement and said. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The latter was lying at his feet in the most humble posture, with a braid just cut on the back of his head, and a shawl scattered behind him, looking like a fake foreign devil in the movie of the late Qing Dynasty in the later generations, he had just run from Tongguan, and came to surrender to the Ming army, and by the way came to tell Yang Wang Ye a good news.
"Your Royal Highness, the puppet prince of the Tartars, Yinxi, heard that His Royal Highness was personally recruiting, and he knew that guarding the Tong Pass was also a mantis arm as a car, and he had already abandoned the pass with the rebel army and fled."
The officer hurriedly said.
Well, Yinxi ran away.
He can't run if he doesn't run, Tongguan has a total of 10,000 elite soldiers of the Eight Banners, and the original plan was that even if the Hangu Pass in front was not guaranteed, how could he withdraw some of the men, and then Xi'an would send some additional reinforcements over, so that he could defend Tongguan to the death. But Hanguguan was wiped out, and this was not enough to really make the eighth elder brother desperate, and then his cronies in Xi'an came to tell him that his father was already preparing to run away, and his second brother had already gone to Hanzhong with the elite who could still fight in Xi'an.
He's stupid to give people thunder here!
You've all run away, so why don't I run? Now that the tree is falling and everyone is scattered, everyone takes care of everyone, and this Qing Dynasty is like this, so why should Lao Tzu be this loyal minister and filial son here?
Originally, he was a little entangled, after all, he was also known as the famous Eight Sages King, this kind of selling his own father was obviously too despicable, at this time, it happened that Yinqi was smoked to death by Du Qi, and the corpse was thrown into the Yellow River to feed the fish The news and the news that Hangu Pass was captured, and the news that Nian Qianyao was cut off on the battlefield also spread to Tongguan, which finally became the last straw that crushed Yinqi, taking advantage of the opportunity for the Ming army to stop in Ruxiang and wait for supplies, he led 10,000 elite soldiers of the Eight Banners to abandon Tongguan directly and fled without a fight.
He ran away from the green camp in Tongguan and didn't marry his father and mother, so he hurriedly fended for himself!
"Where did he flee?"
Yang Feng asked.
"Lord Qiqi, Yinyu did not flee to Xi'an, but crossed the Wei River to the north."
The Green Battalion officer said.
"He's a smart man!"
Yang Feng said with a sneer.
Obviously, Yinxi is not stupid, if he goes to Xi'an, first of all, he must bear the anger of his own Lao Tzu, if he doesn't get Kang Mazi to punish him very harshly, it is not impossible to cut him in anger, second, now his father is a target to attract firepower, following his father means that he will become Yang Feng's primary target, third, his second brother has long looked at him unpleasantly, and ran to follow his father, and in the end, even if everyone can survive, his second brother will not give him a good life.
In that case, why would you go to Xi'an stupidly?
Where can't you go in the open sky?
So he simply crossed the Wei River to the north with 10,000 eight banners, as for where to go, I don't know, it is estimated that he will not go to Taiyuan to find his sixth brother, and his sixth brother will definitely not welcome him.
Of course, Yang Feng doesn't need to care about where he goes for the time being, Prince Yang only needs to know that Guanzhong has opened the door to him, but now he is also facing a very serious problem, what if Kang Mazi runs away? Once Kang Mazi knows that Yinxi abandoned Tongguan and fled, then he will definitely not defend Xi'an, and he has no soldiers to defend it, so the most likely thing is to flee south, go to Hanzhong and go to Sichuan to survive, this is definitely not possible, Prince Yang has already passed by his dear Brother Ma last time, how can he not let Brother Ma go again this time.
"Quick, give the order to the whole army, throw away all the baggage, throw away the armor, carry only rifles and light rocket artillery, and march to Xi'an at full speed! The cavalry brigade was ordered to send out 2,000 war horses, and each of the three horses in the capture battalion was to go west at full speed with enough ammunition, and it was not allowed to stop and rest along the way, and it was necessary to block the four entrances of Meridian, Fuluo, Baoxie, and Chencang in front of Kang Mazi. ”
Yang Feng immediately said to Feng Zhen.
Feng Zhen hurriedly went to arrange.
"You!"
Yang Feng threw a wallet to the officer of the green battalion and said, "You, immediately requisition all the ships that can be found, and transport supplies and heavy weapons to Xi'an." ”
"Villain's Will!"
The officer said excitedly.
"Go, order the airship to come down!"
Yang Feng ignored him, and then said to his attendant.
He must be able to take precautions, if Yinxi sent someone to tell Kang Mazi in advance before escaping, then it would be really difficult for the Ming army to block Brother Ma, even if the capture camp was day and night, it would be impossible to arrive in time. If Kang Mazi really wants to escape, go out of Xi'an and go directly south to the meridian road to Hanzhong, and the entrance of the meridian road is only a few dozen miles away from Xi'an, but it is more than 300 miles from Tongguan to the meridian mouth, and there are many rivers and even mountains along the way, even if the three horses continue to transfer, it is difficult to reach in one day. Since this is the case, he must go out in person, first go to block the meridian road, and then say, the meridian mouth is an entrance to a valley, basically a husband and a man, so that it is best to catch Kang Mazi, even if he can't catch Kang Mazi, he can only force him to go to the Bao slope, Fu Luo Road is too dangerous for him, if he takes the Bao slope, he has to go to Meixian to turn south, and he has to walk more than 200 miles west to enter the mountain, so that the capture camp has hope to catch up.
Immediately after the airship in the sky outside descended, Yang Feng boarded the airship and took off again and headed straight for Xi'an.
Under him, the First Army had already moved into full action, and two battalions of the First Cavalry Brigade of the four cavalry battalions dismounted and walked on foot, handed over their horses to the capture battalion that had been reloaded with guns and revolvers, and rushed westward safely in a rotation of three horses per person, with the goal of blocking the way for Kang Mazi to flee south. The cavalry brigade followed, and the four infantry brigades threw away all their heavy weapons, even their cuirasses and helmets, and rushed to Xi'an on foot with light armor, while the artillery of the battalions and brigades loaded the civilian boats and went up the Wei River to Xi'an.
The three-way people aimed at Xi'an and began this long-distance attack of nearly 300 miles.
At this time, Xi'an was already a doomsday scene.
Yang Feng guessed well, although Yinxi sold Kang Mazi, but he still has a little filial piety, while abandoning Tongguan and fleeing, he also sent someone to inform Kang Mazi quickly, poor Kang Mazi was haggard when he got the news, in fact, he got more than this bad news, his fifth son was killed by Du Qi and Nian Qianyao died in battle, and the news was also sent together.
"This rebel, this evil obstacle!"
Kang Mazi howled in grief and indignation like a wounded old peasant.
He never thought that he was actually sold by his own son, and he has always been highly valued by him, and even the eighth child with the best reputation and known as the virtuous king was sold, why couldn't he learn from the fifth child and fight to the end in Tongguan? Where is the bloodiness of the Aixin Jueluo family, Nian Qianyao, a minion, knows that he died on the battlefield for the Qing Dynasty, why did he, a descendant of the Aixin Jueluo family, flee without a fight? What should I do if you run away?
"This unfilial son!"
Kang Mazi scolded sadly and angrily.
"Master, let's go quickly!"
The loyal Li Guangdi lay at his feet and howled.
"Bastard, I still have this iron-clad Xi'an City, and I still have the Eight Banners Army!"
Kang Mazi roared like a breakdown.
"Master, if you don't leave, it's too late!"
Li Guangdi continued to howl.
What about the Eight Banners Army, there are not even a few men over the age of thirteen in the remaining Eight Banners in the city, all of them are a group of women and children and those who lack arms and legs, and they have not fled south these days. There are only 5,000 military camps in the city that can fight now, and they are still staying to prevent the Han people in the city from rebelling, so they can't just rely on these 5,000 people to fight against the tens of thousands of Ming troops, right?
Kang Mazi was confused for a while, unwilling to admit the reality, he is not really stupid and doesn't know his true strength, what does he take to defend Xi'an? I howled a few times to vent and vent, and then I came to my senses, at this time, I really don't care about anything, it's important to run away first.
"Herald."
He sat down dejectedly, and then said weakly, "Xingshu." ”
"Slaves obey!"
Li Guangdi hurriedly said.
The news of the emperor's luck, or the news of Kang Mazi's escape, exploded like a thunderbolt in Xi'an City among the banner people and those who yearned for the light, and at the same time the eighth elder brother abandoned Tongguan, and the news that the fifth elder brother and Nian Qianyao died in battle also spread quickly, and then they fell into a panic of the end of the world. The entire Xi'an garrison city was like a funeral crying, those old and weak women and children of the Eight Banners, those scholars who had worked hard to run to the Holy Lord Mingjun with the last hope were all dumbfounded, crying and shouting to pack up their baggage and embark on the long road of escape again.
There are even quite a few who simply hang themselves in despair.
At the same time, Kang Mazi also packed up as quickly as possible and hurriedly boarded the carriage, this time you can't make the same mistake as last time, what honor guard, what emperor pomp and circumstance are all gone, what civil and military officials, what imperial relatives are also asking for more blessings, last time it wasn't for these messes, not to the point that it was almost ended by the Ming army, this time a few carriages loaded valuable things and wives and children into the car, and the military camp protected it and hurried out of the city.
As for the others, please be blessed.
It's all come to this point, who can take care of others.
The Holy Lord of the poor mites, Mingjun, the bran tartar emperor who lived for another five hundred years, slipped out of Xi'an City in this way, and went straight south to the meridian under the protection of the military camp, and behind him was a long army of refugees, more than 150,000 old and weak women and children of the Eight Banners and the scholars who continued to follow the light, followed him on the long road of escape, ready to cross the vast Zhongnan Mountain to the next refuge Hanzhong.
However, they didn't know that at this moment, in the eastern sky, an airship was also flying towards the meridian at a speed of nearly four hundred miles per hour. (To be continued.) )
