Chapter 483: Guilt
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
After rescuing his own cavalry, Li Laiheng led his troops back to the camp.
The rout is like a flock of sheep without a brain, who only knows how to run after those in front. A few miles away, the banner of the Ming Dynasty set up in the camp of loyalty, that is, safety and security.
They couldn't see that the loyal battalion soldiers on the other side had lifted the mouth of the bird in the black hole. It's about to rain, and if you don't cast it, you may never get a chance to use it again.
Li Laiheng's last warning: "Spread out from both sides and retreat to the rear of the camp"
However, no one could hear him.
"Release"
"Bang, bang, bang"
Meanwhile.
"Boom"
The iron cannon on the high slope rang out, aiming at the Qing cavalry who were chasing the rout six or seven miles away.
The rout is like minced meat sandwiched between two iron plates, with no way forward, and there are pursuers behind.
This is war, the soldiers of the loyal battalion killed people one by one when they followed King Chuang, and at this moment they seem to have regained a little bit of their former blood, but they are just their own people.
Dare to do it to your own people, it is also a kind of ability, and the battlefield requires a strong heart.
The general's face was hidden under the dark helmet, and Li Guo, who was accompanying him, secretly gave birth to a trace of awe in his heart. This is a troubled time, a stage for the strong, this prestigious general really lives up to his reputation, and he smells a little bit of King Chuang.
Of course. Just a little bit, the strong are always similar to the breath.
"You don't know, when I was King Gao Yingxiang, I had a relationship with him"
Zhai Zhe seemed to be doing a family routine at will, when he was in his early twenties, it was the best time in his life, what he did was everything, all of them were reckless, although it was very hard, now looking back, he still felt excited
"King Gao Chuang is King Chuang's uncle, and Mrs. Gao is the niece of King Gao Chuang"
Li Guo was very excited and told about Guanxi of King Chuang's inheritance. Since he took refuge in the Ming Dynasty, that period of history has become a taboo that cannot be mentioned, but I didn't expect Zhai Zhe to hate him because of this.
"I'm from Jin and know the origin of going to the West Exit. There are also many Shaanxi people in the grassland, and the general soldiers of Xiao and Zuo in the Beijing camp of our army are all Shaanxi."
"That's great"
After a few words, the relationship between the two became a lot closer.
The sound of fighting grew louder for miles, lead penetrated the body, spears blocked the way, and countless people fell in pools of blood, as if they had nothing to do with the two men who spoke.
"Is Mrs. Gao in Kuidong, when the Huguang war is over, I want to meet her"
Li Guo arched his hand: "The end will be told to Mrs. Gao"
Plug Yinxi has been in business for a year, and it is really not as good as Zhai Zhe for a day here. There is a natural estrangement between the military and the civilian officials.
"Huguang is a good place, and the loyalty camp takes Jingzhou, which can be regarded as a place to stay."
Zhai Zhe said casually, Li Guo was stunned at first, then surprised, and bowed and said, "Thank you, General."
The strength of the loyal battalion is worthy of this place in Jingzhou, and Zhai Zhe is not a stingy person. He has the power to give real things, unlike Plug Yinxi, who is restricted by rules and regulations.
There was a thunderclap in the air, and lightning imprinted hideous patterns in the gloomy sky. The sound of cannons on the top of the mountain echoed the sound of thunder, outside the city of Jingzhou, like a netherworld region.
The raindrops grew heavier, and the voices and figures of the routs were gradually muffled by the rain.
Zhai Zhe and Li Guo retreated into the big tent, and the messengers from each battalion who came to report the battle situation were endless. Li Laiheng and Yuan Zongdi arranged a heavy rejection array in the front camp, and the Qing cavalry circled in front of the formation.
In the storm, the Ming army's bird guns could not be used, and the bows and arrows of the Qing soldiers could not be used. Luckedhun personally rode his horse to move the Loyal Battalion around in front of it, and after hesitating for a moment, he ordered the withdrawal of his troops.
The Qing soldiers fought a bloody day yesterday, and they didn't get any rest, and last night they fought fiercely from ugly times to dawn, and although the soldiers were excited, they were also tired. Seeing that the loyal battalion was not in chaos in front of the Huguang rout, he knew that he was powerless to win, and it was more important to go to Jingzhou City to gather with the defenders.
Breaking up the vast army of the lake, I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. He felt more uneasy than yesterday, and he always felt that he had done something extremely unfavorable.
The road to Jingzhou City was opened, and the Qing soldiers disappeared into the rain in turn.
The soldiers of the loyal battalion cleaned up the remnants of the Huguang battalion, and Li Guo and others were very excited, as if they had won a battle. Zhai Zhe personally sticks to this place, which is the support of these people.
In the afternoon, the rain passed and the sky cleared. A rainbow appeared in the southern sky, stretching across both sides of the Yangtze River.
A few cavalrymen entered the loyal camp along the road on the bank of the river, and even the men and horses were drenched like chickens in soup, and the sides of the horse's belly were covered with mud spots.
The messenger of the Dark Camp has finally returned.
Zhai Zhe pushed away a qiē matter and summoned the messenger into the account. His expression was like the sky before a rainstorm in the early morning
The messenger first announced: "General Soldier Zuo and General Soldier Fang will go to Jingzhou City around the time"
Zhai Zhe just listened, quietly listening.
The intelligence from the dark camp was far more than that, and the inside story of Yuezhou Mansion's delay in the military plane made Zhai Zhe furious.
"Let them hurry, hurry up" Zhai Zhe's right hand pressed on the saber at his waist.
The messenger changed horses, came in a hurry, and hurried away.
If ......, if Fang Guoan and Zuo Ruo succeed in blocking Luckedhun, Jingzhou City may already be in the hands of the Ming army. Now although he has taken the opportunity to punish He Tengjiao, the situation in the entire Huguang has become a mess.
The war in Huguang had been going on for almost half a year, and if he hadn't captured it before Dolgon pacified Datong, even if he killed the two men, it would be useless. For the first time, Zhai Zhe wanted to kill someone.
"Why are you so disobedient, why do you have to remind you with blood what to do?
He kept reminding himself that killing couldn't make the world a better place. A self-confident person should be able to tolerate more ideas, except in war.
Dozens of miles away.
Two armies are on a hard trek. What they're doing now is no easier than what they missed before.
Zuo Ruojun left Fang Guoan's army far behind, this is the strength of the most elite army in Jiangnan.
Zuo Ruo and Fang Guoan are not subordinate to each other, so he has no right to punish Fang Guoan. But the failure of the Yuezhou Mansion to stop the Qing soldiers was a black cauldron, and it was obvious that he and Fang Guoan had to carry it together.
Since Yu sneaked into Zhang Cunren, he will be an old friend of Fang Guoan, but after this battle, the friendship between the two is almost over.
"Hurry up, hurry up"
There was no need for Zhai Zhe to urge, Zuo Ruo was already marching with the fastest degree. He couldn't guess how Zhai Zhe would react, but obviously, his great credit for recovering Huguang was about to come to naught.
I really don't blame Zuo Ruo for feeling aggrieved in this matter, and the whip in his hand snapped.
"Damn heavy rain" If it weren't for this rain, he would have been able to rush to Jingzhou before dark. The roads were muddy, and the wagons filled with bird guns and gunpowder sank into mud puddles without paying attention.
The messenger of the dark camp returned, and the order of the general came, as well as the battle under the city of Jingzhou.
When he heard that He Tengjiao's Huguang army was defeated under Jingzhou City this morning, Zuo Ruo's heart became even heavier. These are their culines.
Around the end of the day, the torches in the south of Jingzhou City were bright, and the Ming army finally rushed to Jingzhou City.
Because they knew that it was Zuo Ruo's soldiers and horses, the Qing soldiers did not dare to go out of the city to sneak attack, outside Hanyang City, they had clashed many times, and they knew each other's details.
Lecset stood at the head of Jingzhou City, looking at the swimming fire dragon in the distance, and fell into confusion. Where does he go from here? Huguang is like a broken ship full of loopholes, and his tens of thousands of soldiers and horses cover the east side and leak the west side.
Li Laiheng and Yuan Zongdi were ordered to lead their troops and horses to respond. Zhai Zhe ordered Zuo Ruo to lead the army to set up camp at the location of the Huguang military camp that was only broken in the early morning, and rely on the east and west of the loyal camp.
Zuo Ruocai scavenged some grain from Yuezhou Mansion, and insisted that there was not much left under the city of Jingzhou. The Loyal Battalion sent all kinds of supplies. 30,000 soldiers and horses buried the corpses under the escort of the loyal battalion and built a camp.
The blood on the ground had flowed into the Yangtze River with the rain, and most of the corpses had been buried by the Loyal Battalion during the day. Zhai Zhe's move carries the meaning of punishment. This defeat should have been avoided, although the Huguang army was useless, it was the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty after all. The morale of the Qing soldiers was greatly shaken by this victory, and they didn't know when they would have to wait to capture Jingzhou again.
Zuo Ruojun was busy all night before he settled the camp and the soldiers had a hot meal.
Fang Guoan's army arrived in the early morning of the next day and gathered with Zuo Ruojun. He couldn't see anything on the surface, and he was terrified in his heart.
Zhai Zhe has not shown up, the dark camp has a dark line in the two soldiers and horses, and Ji Hong personally rushed here to tell the experience of the two soldiers and horses in Yuezhou Mansion in detail.
The Jiangnan Ming Army is a family affair of the General's Mansion, and there is no need to explain it to others. Zhai Zhe did not rush to deal with this matter. At present, he still needs to rely on these two troops to deal with the Qing soldiers in Jingzhou City.
Zuo Ruo and Fang Guoan came to the loyalty camp to meet the general, and Zhai Zhe followed them back to the military camp in Jiangnan.
Shut the door and deal with your own family affairs.
Zhai Zhecai sat firmly in the big tent of the Chinese army.
Zuo Ruo took the lead in kneeling on one knee and asked: "The last general failed to stop Leke Dehun in Yuezhou Mansion, resulting in the defeat of the troops in Jingzhou City, please punish the general." ”
From last night to now, the general's expression shows that this matter will never be erased.
He recounted in detail how he went from entering Yuezhou Mansion to capturing Andingzhai and fighting for supplies for Fangguo'an's army, including that Yang Zongxin wanted to marry his granddaughter to him, and he agreed in order to get food from Andingzhai
He really didn't make any mistakes, because he wanted to make meritorious contributions in Huguang, so he always did his best.
Fang Guoan was caught off guard, and was so unable to step down by Zuo Ruo's move, that he couldn't speak. Zuo Ruo betrayed him.
Zhai Zhe turned his face away and asked, "Chief Bing, what are you doing these days?" ”
"I have few soldiers and horses, I am not familiar with the place in Yuezhou Mansion, and I have to deal with the Qing soldiers and the township soldiers, I am really too busy" Fang Guoan turned his head to look left and right, and the big tent of the Chinese army was full of guards from the General's Mansion. He was a little scared, he hadn't been so scared before this morning, because he had just heard that Zhang Kuang of the Huguang Governor's Mansion had been beheaded, and He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang, had been imprisoned. He is a general soldier, compared with the governor of Huguang, of course, he is nothing.
