Zeng Guoquan has been tossed like the boneless duck on Lin Haifeng's dinner table.
The closer we get to Xiangxiang, the more families of officers and soldiers who have "escaped" from Xiangxiang continue to appear. To resist the Heavenly Army is to be willing to be a traitor of the Manchu Tartars, to catch one and resolutely kill one, and to connect relatives in Xiangxiang, and if there is a family property, all the family property will be confiscated. If you lay down your arms and voluntarily return to your villages, you will not be guilty of the past, you will have land and land, and you can live and work in peace and contentment, and this new news that will spread to the army will be more effective than any weapon. As a result, there began to be soldiers along the way who kept "falling behind".
It's not that Zeng Guoquan doesn't want to stop this kind of behavior, but he has no effective way at all. He went from leading the team to running first, and he was forced to lead the personal guards at the end of the camp. He also wanted to kill the family members of the soldiers who came to Xiangxiang to pay respect, just like Liu Rong did with Huang Zaiming. But when his order was given only once, he felt the potential danger in the eyes of the soldiers around him. He didn't dare to force the soldiers to do that, he really wanted to do it, I was afraid that the soldiers would be the first to shoot at him.
"Brethren, do not be swayed by the deceptive tactics of the long hair." Zeng Guoquan only had his usual hand measures left, he waved the waist knife in his hand, and shouted hoarsely, "There won't be a few long-haired people in Xiangxiang City, kill back, recover our hometown, and each person will be paid an extra half a year's salary, no, an extra year's salary, the official will be counted." ”
is the great traitor Qin Hui, who has been scolded by millions of people for nearly a thousand years, as well as a few lackeys such as Wan Qilu, Zhang Jun, Cao Yong, Wang Ciweng, not to mention Zeng Guobao. The sentinels he selected were also for money to sell the doglegs of their ancestors. If you get rid of the long hair, you will have a year's salary, which is not a small amount. Every month they can get two hundred taels of silver added up to the mess, which is thousands of taels of silver in a year, and this silver is easy to come by. They were crazy, so crazy that they completely forgot about their own exhaustion, forgot about their own tiredness, forgot about it for almost a day, and except for breakfast, they never had a decent meal again. They stared with two eyes at the figure of their subordinates who should have been a hundred and ten, but now they have become dozens, and whoever dares to hesitate a little will immediately pounce on them, threatening and intimidating. You can't live without these soldiers, they are the foundation of your own money.
When approaching Xiangxiang City, Zeng Guoquan did not plan to attack the city, but turned southwest, left Xiangxiang and went straight to Shuangfeng, where the lotus leaf pond was his hometown. Liu Rong discovered his intentions behind and hurriedly rode his horse to catch up. In his battalion, Bing Yong had dispersed three out of ten stops, and Zou Shiqi in the rear team, his Lian Yong was almost lost, and only a few dozen cronies remained.
"Lao Jiu, you can't go on like this anymore." Liu Rong rushed forward to encircle Zeng Guobao's horse's head, and looked anxiously at the pursuers who had been following behind, "First hurry up and straighten out the team, and beat back the trailing long hair." Otherwise, if you run like this, you don't need to grow hair to fight, and the whole army will be scattered. ”
"Dumbfounded!" Zeng Guoquan glared at the two triangular eyes that were already red, and the horsewhip danced in all directions, "Look at these soldiers, can they still fight?" It's better to go back to Shuangfeng first, and when we get there, there will be villagers to support us, and we can't help but measure the long hair. ”
Liu Rong opened his mouth and swallowed a few mouthfuls of spit, he really wanted to step forward and slap Zeng Guoquan a few times, and scold this Zeng Jiu who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it. Oh my! The team that has worked hard for nothing is going to be over like this! "Lao Jiu, what you say is simply a fantasy. Here to the twin peaks is far from mentioning, the road is undulating and difficult to walk, the brothers have been hungry for a day, and then go down not to talk about not to get to the twin peaks, you see this day, it will soon be darkened, once you hit the ambush of the long hair in front, the left is a trickle, the right and the back are long hair, there is no place to retreat. Now we must concentrate on a battle, and only by winning can we stabilize morale. He suppressed his anger and tried to speak calmly.
"I'm the main general, and when I say it's fighting, you say you can't fight. Now it's clear that you can't fight, and you have to fucking fight again. Zeng Guoquan pulled the horse's head impatiently and shouted at the officers and soldiers everywhere, "Kill back to our hometown, save our own relatives, and we must not watch our relatives be ravaged by thieves!" As he spoke, he clamped the horse with his legs and rushed out first.
You bastard! Liu Rong looked at Zeng Guoquan who was gone, and smacked it on the ground. The soldiers in Zeng Guoquan's camp are different from his Loudi disciples, they are all people from Shuangfeng. Now this Zeng Jiu actually ignores the life and death of the whole army, and only thinks about his own nest. The more he thinks about it, the more angry he becomes, and the more he thinks about it, the more he thinks about it, and this is why he is incompetent and tired to death of the three armies!
Zou Shiqi, who was full of panic, hurriedly rushed up from behind. As soon as he saw Liu Rong, who stopped there, his face was blue and his teeth were clucking, and then he looked at the hundreds of former soldiers and horses who were scattered together, the team was not like a team, and the army was not a team, and he swarmed to the southwest, he wiped the indescribable mud or sweat on his forehead, and asked inexplicably, "Meng Rong, why did you stop?" Let's go, Longhair is coming to catch up again. ”
"You hurry up and chase Zeng Jiu's bastard, I'll stay and kill him for a while." Liu Rong circled her mount, jumped off her war horse, looked around at the subordinates who came up, and pointed to the waist knife in her hand, "Brothers, Liu treats everyone well on weekdays. Now if you want to have a way to live, you must first kill these long-haired people who are chasing after them. Don't listen to those false news, you have heard it in the past, the set of long hair in addition to pretending to be a ghost, that is, the division of men and women, no one can have a home, no private property, that is not a human life at all. Only by completely exterminating them can the family members of the family be saved. Brothers, follow me, line up, and kill the thief together! ”
There were few voices in response, except for his cronies. It's not that the soldiers don't want to fight, but the legs and stomachs are tendoned, the soles of the feet are numb, the front belly is next to the back of the back, and there is only air coming out of the mouth, and it is already very difficult to even get a little qi. Besides, Zeng Guoquan's actions made them even more germinated to find a chance to return to Loudi first, the golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as the kennel in their hometown!
Several henchmen and team officers came to Liu Rong's side, "My lord, since Lord Zeng always thinks about their twin peaks, why should we fight our old books again, it is better to find a gap and go back to Loudi." "That's it, we are familiar with the terrain and people there, and we can still hide if we can't beat it." "If you want to go back to Loudi, the brothers under this command may still be able to lead and fight, but I am afraid that they will not even have the strength to raise their swords."
Seeing that she was already like this with her confidant, Liu Rong was completely discouraged. He looked up at the dusk sky, sighed, and wiped the knife from his neck with the knife in his hand.
"My lord, it can't be like this!" The henchmen around him were quick and quick-eyed, and Lou Lou hugged him, and forcibly snatched the waist knife in his hand, "My lord, stay in the green mountains, don't worry about no firewood, let's go first." As he spoke, he didn't care whether he agreed or not, so he hugged him and ran northwest.
Before the chaotic men and horses had gone far, they saw the fluttering yellow battle flags and barracks of the Taiping army. As a result, the men and horses of the brigade turned their heads and surged south.
At this time, Zou Shiqi took his last dozen subordinates and greeted him in a hurry. "Meng Mengrong, hurry up and get an idea, the road has been blocked by the long-haired camp in front, I'm afraid we will be surrounded!" Zou Shiqi's words are almost unfavorable.
"I'm afraid I'm going to be surrounded?" Liu Rong glanced at Zeng Guoquan, who was also like a lost dog, and was running back here with a gray face, and suddenly laughed wildly, "Wait, there will be three sides in the back, and we are desperate." God, you're blind! He smiled and laughed, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
The remnants of Zeng Guoquan, Liu Rong, and Zou Shiqi were surrounded.
Zeng Guoquan only knew that he should come back when he saw the company and battalion of the Heavenly Army in front of him, but he lost nearly thirty percent of his soldiers. Now, he looked at the soldiers who had lost their only line of faith, sitting or lying on this small mound, like a pool of water dogs, and he couldn't get up anymore.
A few hundred meters away, the cavalry of the Celestial Army had already lined up in a fan, and the big swords and spears like mountains and forests radiated a breathtaking coldness under the last trace of blood-like sunshine in the sky.
