Chapter 473: I Will Treat Your Wife Favorably!
"Boom, boom—"
The sound of artillery reflected half of the sky in the south sky, and the sound of explosions came from Jiazhai not far away, and Pan Dingxin's heart ached. Jia Zhai is southwest of Zhangjiazhuang, where he is now located, and is one of the two major gathering places for Huaijun cash. Pan Dingxin is already unable to retreat now, he knows that the cavalry of the Qin army is moving on the edge of the county, and the chaotic and demoralized army in the dark night has returned to the county seat, and it will be raided by the cavalry again, and the Huai army will be completely finished.
He can only hope that Liu Xian can also take care of the inconvenience of fighting after dark, so he can drag him over tonight. Who knew that Jia Zhai was bombarded by the Qin army's artillery group......
An irrepressible heartache made Pan Dingxin just want to faint, and before he could turn around, the Zhangjiazhuang where he was now was also covered by the artillery fire.
"Quickly take the adults to withdraw from the village ......"
Pan Dingxin's ears were deafened by the sound of cannons, and people were surrounded by his own soldiers like puppets, ignoring the seven or eight thousand men and horses gathered in Zhangjiazhuang, and fled straight towards the north road.
Pan Dingxin's mind was in a mess, he couldn't figure it out, how could the Qin army's cannon hit so accurately, first Jiazhai and then Zhangjiazhuang, could it be that the Qin army's scout and meticulous ability was so strong? Less than an hour after they had gathered their forces in these two places, they passed the news back unconsciously. The Qin army's artillery group was in place, and the shooting of Zhu Yuan and so on were all calculated???
If the opponent's ability is really so strong, what else will he fight? Just surrender directly! Pan Dingxin's whole person is not good now.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
"Boom, boom, boom......"
The Qin army's shells rained down like no money, and it took less than twenty minutes. Zhangjiazhuang and Jiazhai were all in ruins. And the main forces of the Ding Army and the Wuyi Army gathered in these two places, as well as some pro-army soldiers and horses. Fifteen thousand Huai troops, or wounded. What is still alive is completely herded sheep and completely collapsed!
Of course, Liu Xian immediately knew about the changes in the Huai army, but his generals didn't know.
Liu Xian asked Roy to gather all the artillery and divide it into two ways to shell Jiazhai and Zhangjiazhuang, which can also be explained by 'looking at the map and gaining insight into the enemy', after all, the scope of the battlefield has been reduced a lot, and there are not too many places where the Huai army gathers troops. That's Liu Xian's ability!
However, after the shelling, it would be almost reckless to immediately command the troops to attack without waiting for the information from the front to react.
It's not daytime, but it's night.
It is already difficult to mobilize troops at night, and if Liu Xian is like this, it makes people feel that it is a little beyond the scope of human 'understanding'.
"Report ......"
The communication soldier dragged out his voice for a long time, "Report to the king, Jiazhai and Zhangjiazhuang are all places where the Huai army hoards. Under the shelling, the enemy will flee, the soldiers will be disorganized, and now it has collapsed! ”
Liu Xian looked at his pocket watch. It was just after eleven o'clock. Three hours have passed since the attack was launched at eight o'clock.
"Pass on the king's military order, and the whole army will assault. Except for one battalion left for defense, the rest were exhausted. Give this king to completely defeat the Huai army. ”
……
Liu Xian's order was handed down. More than 10,000 new forces of the Qin army, and the four battalion commanders compete with each other. In the end, the most senior Tao Dalin camp was retained.
"Okay, okay, I'll keep it, you guys go."
Tao Dalin is very talkative. The three battalion commanders left with a grin. In a moment, the soldiers of the Qin army swept out in the same style as the black clouds at the top.
"Camp. Why do we stay behind and let them go? If we stay in the background, we won't be able to see an enemy! ”
After the three battalion commanders left, a young officer asked Tao Dalin with incomprehension.
"What, you want to fight?"
"Of course I want to fight. There are a total of nine military academies in our county, and our brigade has assigned five of them. I'm the only one in our camp! This time I made a great contribution to fighting the Huai Army, and our battalion is lagging behind, how can I still make meritorious service? If those four people have made meritorious contributions, by the time the Chinese New Year comes, all four of them will be promoted to captains and majors, and I am still a small second lieutenant, how can my family still raise their heads in the county? ”
This officer is obviously very fond of Tao Dalin, and he speaks very casually in front of Tao Dalin, and he does not hide his true thoughts.
It's always good for young people to want to make meritorious contributions, no matter what the purpose. Tao Dalin smiled slightly, and said lightly: "Don't worry, you can always catch the battle." It's not going to end in a day or two!
Now the three battalions of them are chasing and fighting, no matter how hard they fight, Baoying County will always be unable for them to fight. No matter how happy they are, they still have to rest obediently when the day comes. That's when we play.
Now I order, the whole battalion waits with peace of mind, and is on guard! ”
"Hard seat, it turns out that you hit this idea, you are so high!" The officer's expression immediately turned to joy, and some of them shouted without going up or down.
Tao Dalin smiled.
And for Pan Dingxin at this moment, Qin Jun's laughter is his crying.
The Huai army was defeated too badly.
Of the more than 40,000 troops that Li Hongzhang handed over to him, there are less than 3,000 that he can still grasp now.
The Huai army collapsed and collapsed!
His face was extremely ugly now, "Order the troops, cross the river bridge, and blow up the bridge as soon as the troops pass through Guò!" "Pan Dingxin can only do his best to obey the destiny of heaven. He knew in his heart that after tonight, China would be two completely different worlds, and the Huai Army would no longer be the Huai Army before.
The straight line is more than ten miles away, and it usually doesn't take half an hour to gallop on horseback. But the sky was blind, Pan Dingxin was afraid of encountering the cavalry of the Qin army, so he didn't dare to take the official road to the county seat, so he spared some roads, and the distance was much longer. There are not even a thousand troops around him, and the rest are either separated or left behind.
"It's time to take a breath." When he arrived at the Xiangyang River Bridge, it was far away from the battlefield, and the gunfire that was once very close had long stopped, Pan Dingxin relieved his nerves and ordered the whole army to rest and slow down.
"My lord, the matter is ...... Is it really unacceptable? Pan Dingxin was very nervous along the way, the sound of guns and cannons around him was endless, and his relatives didn't dare to ask, and they didn't have time. But at this point, they finally spoke timidly.
Pan Dingxin looked around at everyone and saw that everyone was full of sadness, obviously losing confidence in the future. These people have followed Pan Dingxin for more than ten years to watch the Huai army grow little by little, and finally become a behemoth across the north and south of China, and become a humerus pillar of the Qing Dynasty.
"Not for the sake of it. This defeat of this general is the defeat of the Huai army. Pan is ashamed of Zhongtang and everyone. Pan Dingxin sighed, tears flowed from his eyes: "Everyone, I am the general of the Huai Army, and I have received great favor from the Lord Zhongtang, even if I am broken bones, I will be with the Lord of Zhongtang." But you don't have to burn the jade with me. Let's go. Huaijun is already at the end of the road, you can protect me so far, you are already worthy of me, you all leave, ask for peace! ”
His words were completely different from the high-spirited people he usually had, and he was really weak. Everyone next to him looked at each other, and after a long while, one of them sighed and said, "Why did your lord say this." We were originally born with mud legs, and we have enjoyed wealth over the years, all thanks to the support of the adults and adults in the middle hall. At this time, if you abandon the adults and see the danger and leave, are you still human?
Now we still have elite soldiers in our hands, and no matter how tiger the Qin army is, it will not be able to swallow more than 40,000 people of our Huai army tonight. There can always be seven or eight thousand people in the search, right?
As long as Lord Zhongtang is still there, go back to the north and recruit strong warriors to replenish them, and my Huai army will still be there! ”
Although this man's words were comforting, he was also faintly discouraged. However, the Huai Army is a force formed by the township party as a link, and if these people see that the Huai Army is not successful, they will abandon Pan Dingxin and Li Hongzhang and run away, and they will have a bad reputation when they return to the township.
"Yes, sir, don't be discouraged."
A group of people have made comments, and most of them mean this.
The tears in Pan Dingxin's eyes flowed out again, and he choked up: "I'm afraid that my death will not be a pity, and I will also offend the Qin army with you." If it is not good in the future, you will want to return to your hometown and become a farmer, but you are afraid that you will not be able to. ”
Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills. Pan Dingxin's acting skills are very good.
What he is most afraid of now is that the tree will fall and scatter, if these people in front of him want to make a fuss, he doesn't know if the Huai army is finished or not, but his Ding army will definitely be finished.
Moreover, Pan Dingxin is most afraid that someone will have bad intentions, tie him up, and dedicate him to the Qin army, it will really be difficult to turn over.
Judging from Pan Dingxin's vision and some of the news he controls, Liu Xian has the intention of appeasing him in the family and in Hangzhou, and it is much better to continue to hold Li Hongzhang's thigh than to be alone. No matter how bad it is, you can go back to your hometown and be a rich man with peace of mind.
Pan Dingxin finally caught the hearts of the remnants of his soldiers, and was about to make some more promises, when suddenly he heard a roar in his ears, which was the sound of the explosion of the Qin army's mortar.
As soon as the troops took a breath, they ran into the Qin army again, and it was a nightmare!
Pan Dingxin's people fled here, and they had already broken their courage, but they didn't have the fighting spirit to fight with the Qin army, and they didn't even want to take a look at the situation.
Pan Dingxin's originally prepared words were swallowed back into his stomach. After he was stunned, he did not hesitate, ran forward quickly, grabbed his horse, and turned on his horse.
"Let's go! Come on! He shouted loudly, and then urged the horse to flee.
"Grown, sir, go. Everyone, hurry up. I'll leave behind, and you'll go! ”
One of the more than a dozen officers stepped forward, shouted with a sad face, and then led his men to meet the sound of the cannons.
As the saying goes, the wind knows the grass, and the board knows the hero. At this time, there are still people who are willing to fight to the death for Pan Dingxin for everyone, this person is loyal and righteous, and he should go straight to Xiaohan, which is extremely admirable!
Pan Dingxin was really choked, the gratitude in his heart was beyond words, and he shouted from afar on the horse: "Don't worry, in the future, if I have a life, I will treat your wife well!" (To be continued......) R1292
