Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The return of the messenger who failed to contact the reinforcements but saw a crushing defeat and the defeated army that fled to the city of Xiangfan after nightfall6 all reveal the end of the Qing army's return journey. At this moment, Galtu had completely given up his luck, and he had even predicted the "terrifying" scene that Zheng Jun would come from the next day.
It was with this realization that, after a short period of thought, Gartu sent an envoy to inform Jingzhou overnight. At the same time, Gartu also used the power of the governor to send the officials and families of the Manchu and Mongolian and Han military banners in Xiangfan and the Han army to Gucheng in the upper reaches of the Han River in the name of supervising grain, and instructed them to flee from Gucheng to Dengzhou, and then enter Shaanxi through Neixiang and Xichuan to Bauhinia Pass.
However, at this moment, Gaertu obviously did not realize that the degree of Zheng Jun's march would be faster than he imagined, and those bannermen and bannermen who finally escaped from Xiangfan City did not escape the pursuit of Zheng Jun in the end, and they were stopped by Zheng Jun who arrived in advance before entering the inner countryside. Of course, that's all for later.
The front foot sent off the flag bearer, and the back foot Gartu regretted it again. He was afraid that without the bullet pressure of the flag soldiers, the Han soldiers and the green battalion soldiers would be in chaos. But there is nowhere to buy regret medicine, and it is unrealistic to send someone to recover a flag man who runs faster than a rabbit. As a last resort, Gaertu inspected the defenses of the two cities of Xiangfan non-stop, and sent his own people to supervise the battalions.
Galtu also wanted to hold on to Xiangfan for as long as possible, but his act of sending away the flag guards to spy on the Han generals made some of the Green Battalion generals have different thoughts. Especially under the personal training of Cao Zhongying and Yue Shenglong, the generals of the Green Battalion, whose families are mainly in Huguang, may feel that it is also a good way out to join Zheng Jun.
"Lord Fan, the Governor has gone mad," Yuan Boxiong, the general of the Wuchang City garrison who was in charge of the defense of Fancheng, said to Fan Jinshan, the general of the Xiangyang City garrison. "It's going to drag us into hell together."
Yuan Boxiong said this for a reason, although Galtu mobilized the people to go into battle, but the Xiangfan garrison was only 5,000, and they had to defend two cities, not to mention that they could not stop the Zheng army brigade that could kill 20,000 reinforcements, and even the Zheng army sailors who had cleaned up the Han River channel might not be able to compete. If it was just to hit the stone with an egg, Gaertu was also afraid that the rout army fleeing from the north would have the meticulous work of the Zheng army, so not only did he not open the city gate and let them in to strengthen the garrison, but also sent people to shoot arrows and slash them, forcing these Qing troops to flee into the countryside as a disaster, which did not make the green battalion soldiers who were born and grew up in Si afraid in any way.
"I know your brother's thoughts." Fan Shenjiang is a local, so he hates Galtu's decision even more, but because he is a local and his family is in Xiangyang City, he also has more hesitation. "It's just that there is still a superintendent in the middle camp in the hands of the platform, if Xiangyang does not move, just Fancheng moves, I am afraid that my brothers will not dare to be reckless."
The middle battalion of the Dubiao is a large battalion, with 2,500 people, which is far stronger than the Xiangyang City Garrison and the Wuchang City Garrison, which each have 12,300 people. What made Fan Jinshan even more jealous was that Yuan Shenjiang, the battalion officer of the battalion in the supervising standard, was personally promoted by Gartu, and Gartu even retained the title of the other party's deputy general.
"I know what you're worried about, brother, aren't my family members in Xiangyang? But if you really have to wait until Zheng Jun comes tomorrow, do you and I still have the reputation of righteousness? Yuan Boxiong smiled bitterly, righteousness and surrender are two concepts, and the ending is bound to be very different. Or is the dude willing to be martyred for the Qing Dynasty who doesn't treat us as human beings? Yuan Boxiong shook his head. The wife and children are dead, we can still ask for and regenerate, if you and I are dead, then do they still have a chance to live? Yuan Boxiong pointed to the southeast. King Xia has an early order to severely punish traitors, even if you and my children can survive by luck, then life will be worse than death. ”
"Lord Yuan, if I don't want to, why bother grinding my teeth with you here." Of course, Fan Jinshan understood that if he didn't say that he was ugly today, someone in Yuan, who had already tried to see the dagger, would definitely be the first to let him go, so he said frankly. "You have to let me think of a perfect way, besides, you sent someone over to Zheng Jun's side?"
"Don't hide it from my brother, as soon as the governor left, I sent someone out of the city from the west, and now I estimate that I have contacted the Zheng Junshui Division." Yuan Boxiong did not shy away from his words and replied truthfully. "But there is no complete way in the world, as the so-called opportunity must not be lost and never come again, brother, you must think about it."
Fan Jinshan was still hesitating, and suddenly there was a commotion outside the door, and the two stood up and looked out, only to see the two governors Goshha rushing in violently, and the guards guarding the door were jumping: "Why are they here?" ”
Before Yuan Boxiong could answer, one of the people in Goshha had already seen the two of them, and immediately shouted: "Lord Yuan, Lord Fan, what are you doing hiding in this room if you don't follow the commander's order to patrol the four gates, don't you want to do the opposite!" ”
"The Lord of the Army asked us to patrol the city, and it doesn't mean that we can't come down from the city for twelve hours." Fan Jinshan explained very unhappily. "The sea rebellion has not yet arrived, so he is in a chaotic position, and he does not let the soldiers rest, so what kind of battle will he fight."
Fan Jinshan's words are in line with the art of war, but Goshha, who has eaten a turtle, is unwilling to stop: "Then you get together"
Without waiting for Goshha to finish speaking, Fan Jinshan replied casually: "Lord Yuan and I are discussing how to defend the city. ”
"Is that really the case?" The two Goshha looked at each other suspiciously, and then sneered. "I don't know what the two adults have discussed, but can we listen to it too."
Yuan Boxiong replied with disdain: "The soldiers are outnumbered, and we are at a loss for everything." ”
"Centrifugation up and down. Yuan Boxiong, you are so bold, you actually slandered Shangguan! The two Goshha looked at Yuan and Fan angrily. I don't think you're going to discuss how to defend the city, but you're going to discuss how to surrender to the sea!" ”
"I really think it's still a peaceful time, and I can do whatever I want with the tiger skin of the Governor's Mansion." Yuan Boxiong looked at the two of them with dead eyes, and this expression made the two Goshha a little creepy. "You're really right, we're discussing how to dedicate the city, and since the two of you are willing to vote, it's so good, come on! Chopped! ”
"Yuan Boxiong, you dare!" The pro-soldiers of the Governor's Mansion drew their swords while scolding, but it was too late, and a row of bows and arrows shot from the side room, and the two without armor suddenly shot like hedgehogs. "Yuanbo Bear, you dare"
"Lord Yuan," Fan Jinshan walked over to the two corpses and flicked his foot. "You're an archer for me."
"Brother, you're serious about what you say." Even if Yuan Boxiong has this idea, he can't say it clearly, after all, Fan Jinshan is not two governors who have no foundation in the army, and if Fan Jinshan is injured and the Xiangyang City garrison is angered, it will also be a lose-lose thing for Yuan Boxiong. "How dare I do this to my brother, it's just that the matter has come to this, brother, we can't do it if we don't do it."
"You've been dragged into the water, dude, what else is there to say." Fan Jinshan sighed. "But as I just said, there must be a perfect way, and it also saves the soldiers from centrifugation, and now I still say this, this thing must be done perfectly."
Everything? How can things be done like this, Yuan Boxiong thought carefully about what Fan Jinshan meant, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "What does the eldest brother mean, maybe we can still contact Xiangyang?" ”
"Yuan Kemin may not be able to impress here, but Hu Naili, who supervised the sailor battalion, must not be willing to follow the martyrdom."
"Look at my pig brain, yes, yes, Hu Naili will never follow Gartu all the way to the dark." Yuan Boxiong laughed, laughed for a while, and smiled. "It's just how to contact Hu Naili, what if he sells us?"
"Isn't Lao Hu's side responsible for defending the pilgrimage gate? Send someone to the city to shout, just say that we have something to explain to our family, presumably even if there is the governor's mansion Goshha watching, he will not give us two faces. "There is a certain loophole in Fan Jinshan's words, because it is obviously closer to the Hanmen Gate than to cross the river from Fancheng into Xiangyang City than to take the pilgrimage gate, but this is also a way to do it, otherwise it is basically impossible to get close to the target." As for Hu Naili going to sell us, we will close the four gates of Fancheng, and Gaertu can fly in again, that is, the most family members will suffer. ”
"It makes sense, it makes sense." Yuan Boxiong's shooting was amazing. "Then we have to pick a good past"
Due to the urgency of the military situation, the guards of the Governor's Palace were waiting outside the line with lanterns and torches, and from time to time there were patrolling sentinels shuttling back and forth. However, the seemingly well-guarded does not represent the real defensive force, no, the guards who seem to be standing firmly have their upper eyelids on their lower eyelids, but they are still holding on with a strong force.
The rustling footsteps woke the group of drowsy guards, and looking at the crowd surging in the distance, the leader of the squad drew his sword and asked, "Who dares to trespass on the governor's place?" ”
Looking at the guards holding the gun with a horizontal knife, the general of the green battalion raised his anger and responded: "I am the deputy general Hu of the Navy Battalion, I have an urgent military situation to report to the governor, so don't you hurry up and open the door to report." ”
"Vice Admiral Hu?" The guards looked at the person with some doubts, yes, the face was recognized, but the other party was like this. "Don't stand still, Vice General Hu, what kind of military situation needs so many soldiers and horses to accompany you, do you want to make trouble?"
"How is that possible?" Hu Naili motioned to the people around him to stop temporarily, and he walked quickly to the leader of the guards. "This brother, this official learned that the camp in the Governor Biao intended to rebel, so he brought troops to protect the Governor, and asked a few people to report it quickly."
"The battalion in the supervision bid must be opposed." The leader of the guard, who was so frightened that he couldn't possess his body, forgot to confirm the authenticity of the news for a while, and subconsciously ordered. "Hurry up, open the side door, and let Vice General Hu report to the marshal." The door creaked open, and the guard put away his knife and said respectfully. "Hurry up, sir."
"Thank you." Hu Naili smiled, took out a knife and slashed at the other party's neck, and before those stunned eyes completely lost their divine light, Hu Naili shouted. "Kill"
At the end of July 12, the first year of Baokang in the Ming Dynasty and the 36th year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, Hu Naili, the battalion officer and deputy general of the Huguang Governor's Biaoshui Division, deceived the Governor of Huguang into opening the gate of the Governor's Line in the name of reporting an urgent matter, and then led 300 people to enter the Governor's Mansion and capture the Governor of Huguang Galtu. Yuan Kemin, the battalion officer and deputy general of the Biaozhong Battalion who was in charge of the main defense of Xiangyang, immediately sent troops to try to take back the governor. The two sides fought in the night, and finally forced Hu Naili to kill Galtu on the spot. Gartu died, and the battalion was immediately dispersed, and Yuan Kemin, who was unable to return to the sky, had to lead the remnants of less than 100 people to flee in panic.
Early the next morning, as soon as the main force of the Zheng army left Zaoyang, the defenders of Xiangfan surrendered to the vanguard of the water division
