Chapter Seventy-Five: Winning with Righteousness and Oddity (7)

Hearing the order, Yao Guotai, who had been waiting for a long time, suddenly shouted, "Children, the time has come for us to make contributions, and the Qing army has left our backs like lost dogs." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info is now waiting for us to run over and take a look at their dogs' heads. Kill with Lao Tzu! ”

Yao Guotai threw his horsewhip and immediately rode towards the Qing army.

The cavalry of the Second Army immediately followed Yao Guotai and rushed out from the bridge made of wooden planks that had been reserved.

Finally, this long artillery coverage finally stopped, Wu Sangui's nearly 40,000 people were left with less than 8,000 people at this time, and only less than half of them could maintain their combat effectiveness.

Most of the Qing soldiers' ears were already deaf and bleeding, but they still felt the trembling of the earth, but soon, it was not only the earth that trembled, but their legs could not support their bodies, and one by one they either knelt with guns or simply collapsed to the ground.

In the end, Wu Sangui was only able to escape with about 3,000 soldiers and horses.

Wu Sangui fled, and Zheng Chenggong asked his men to clean up the battlefield, escort the prisoners, and treat some of the slightly injured.

After seeing the saturation attack of the artillery, He Wenxing shouted excitedly, "It's enjoyable, it's really fucking enjoyable." General, let me be the commander-in-chief of the artillery brigade in the future, this artillery is his mother's strength! ”

Yao Qisheng shook the paper fan and said, "Hey, the artillery is powerful, but it costs too much." In just about one stick of incense, nearly three or four hundred thousand taels of silver were killed, not counting the continuous firing of exploding artillery! ”

Hearing that a burst of shelling cost nearly two or three hundred thousand, He Wenxing was stunned for a moment, so expensive!

How much is three or four hundred thousand worth, the monthly salary of an ordinary soldier is five taels, three or four hundred thousand, how much can be supported by a soldier......

He Wenxing's mind couldn't count it for a while.

Zheng Chenggong also sighed when he heard it, "Yes, the war in the future is a money-burning thing, whoever has more money, who can spend more money, who may win!" ”

defeated Wu Sangui, leaving nearly 30,000 corpses of Qing soldiers, and Guiyang City was still fighting bloody.

Yao Qisheng said to Zheng Chenggong, "General, the old thief Hong still thinks that Wu Sangui is cooperating with our army inside and outside, and the Qing soldiers in Guiyang are still desperately resisting, which will cause heavy casualties to our army." It is better to withdraw for the time being, and then pile up the battle flags and corpses of the Qing cavalry in front of the city gate, so that the Qing soldiers in the city can see it, and knock out their last morale, so as to facilitate our army's actions! ”

Zheng Chenggong nodded and ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

Hearing the sound of the withdrawal of troops, Zhou Quanbin, who was still fighting fiercely, did not know what was happening, but the military order was as follows.

After Zhou Quanbin slashed a Qing soldier back with a knife, he still ordered his subordinates to retreat slowly with him.

Seeing that the Zheng family army had withdrawn, Hong Chengchou thought that Wu Sangui had succeeded, and urgently ordered the Qing soldiers to pursue.

Seeing that the Qing army dared to chase after him without fear of death, Zhou Quanbin was not polite, and the musketeers stepped forward and snapped, and repelled the Qing army.

Although he repelled the Zheng Jiajun during the pursuit, Hong Chengchou still shouted loudly to his subordinates: "The Zheng Jiajun has been defeated by my Qing Dynasty, and we have won!" ”

Luo Tuo, Liu Dayuan and others also showed ecstasy, "We won, we won!"

"Great! We won! The remaining Qing soldiers were also very excited and immediately shouted.

After making his subordinates happy for a while, and venting the tense nerves of the fierce battle, Hong Chengchou stroked his long beard and shouted: "Everyone follow me to the city and meet our hero, King Pingxi!" ”

Now that the four city gates have been blocked, I can't go out of the city for a while, so I have to stand at the head of the city and talk to Wu Sangui.

Hong Chengchou led Luo Tuo and a few people to step on the city with blood stains in a happy mood, but the scene in front of them was like a heavy hammer hitting their hearts, making them deeply shocked.

The most ironic thing in the world is that when you think you have won, you are happy and excited, but in the blink of an eye, that victory is like a bubble, and it bursts in an instant.

Under the head of the city, thousands of Zheng Jiajun threw the corpses of the Manmeng Eight Banners cavalry and the Guanning Iron Cavalry in front of the city, and the pile of corpses as high as a mountain deeply stimulated Hong Chengchou and them.

A few people who were in bad spirits and even shouted frantically, "This can't be, all this is fake, it's all Zheng Haikou's trick." It's all fake, yes, it's all fake......"

Zhou Quanbin was under the city, riding a war horse and shouting with laughter: "Old thief, don't expect Wu Sangui to be a traitor." He had been defeated by my Zheng Jiajun and fled overnight. If you don't want to die, surrender quickly. can also save your dog's life, otherwise once Guiyang is broken, you will be taken with your dog's head sacrifice flag! ”

After shouting, hundreds of soldiers of the Zheng family army used bows and arrows to remove the arrows, tied the persuasion letter and shot into Guiyang.

Guiyang City Government.

The atmosphere in the hall was very solemn, Hong Chengchou sat on the main seat, and Luo Tuo, Liu Dayuan and other generals stood quietly and solemnly.

"Wenyang, you take it and take a look......" Hong Chengchou lightly threw the letter of persuasion on the table with his left hand and his right hand, nodded at Liu Dayuan and said, "Look at ......"

"Yes!" With a light reply, Roto stepped forward to take the letter and read it carefully.

"Lord Luo, what the hell is going on?" Liu Dayuan, who was on the other side, asked in a slightly anxious voice.

"King Pingxi was defeated, and Shang Kexi was killed by Zheng Jiajun! Zheng Chenggong asked me to surrender, not only can I save my life, but I can even continue to be an official! Luo Tuo first handed the letter to Liu Dayuan on the side, and then slowly replied.

"What?" The Qing general in the hall exclaimed in surprise, and the rest of the people also looked shocked.

"Is the news conclusive?" Liu Dayuan asked urgently.

"There shouldn't be anything wrong with that." Hong Chengchou nodded helplessly, "The corpses outside the city, the banners, and the head of King Pingnan prove that Zheng Chenggong should not be lying!" ”

Hearing that Wu Sangui's army was defeated, as long as he was not too stupid, he could analyze what Wu Sangui's defeat meant.

"Master Hong, what should I do now?" Roto slowly looked up and asked in a deep voice.

Hong Chengchou looked up to the sky and sighed, and said abruptly: "Today's big plan is not successful, and there is no need for Guiyang to hold on." Let's break through at night, converge with the King of Pingxi and General An Yuan Jingkou and plan again! ”

After speaking, Hong Chengchou couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

Being trapped in Guiyang City for so many days, Hong Chengchou was already tired of it, if it weren't for the plan to attack inside and outside, he still had confidence in the plan to attack inside and outside, thinking that he could defeat the Zheng family's army. If it weren't for the fear that Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty would blame, Hong Chengchou might have already found a way to break through.

Hearing Hong Chengchou's order to break through, the generals in the hall felt a little happy, they had already fled from the birdcage of Guiyang.

Just as the generals of the Qing army were preparing to pack up and prepare for the breakout, Liu Dayuan said: "If Taifu wants to withdraw from the breakout, please allow the lower officials to stay and defend Guiyang." The lower officials are not talented, and they are willing to live and die with Guiyang City. to reimburse the imperial court"

Hong Chengchou heard that although his face did not change, a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes in an instant.

But soon, Hong Chengchou returned to normal, and said expressionlessly: "Quasi! ”

Hong Chengchou simply agreed to Liu Dayuan's request, and then waved his hand, "Just leave 3,000 soldiers and horses for you, and everyone else will go down and prepare!" ”

After finishing speaking, Hong Chengchou was the first to walk away, without even looking at the six yuan.

Liu Dayuan shouted respectfully from behind: "Lord Xie! (To be continued.) )
