Chapter 209: Get out of trouble
Everyone was shocked to see someone blocking the way, but when they saw the faces of the people who came, they knew that it was impossible to end this matter well. Zeng Sance immediately stepped forward and asked, "What does General Guo Potian want?"
The person who came was Guo Potian, who was ordered by Shi Dakai to wait for Zeng Guofan.
"On the orders of the marshal of my family, capture Zeng Guofan." Guo Potian said in a loud voice.
"Presumptuous, how can you shout at the name of my family's handsome." Zeng San said angrily.
"Ha, you can't scream, but I can't scream, do you believe it or not, don't you believe it, then you listen, Zeng Guofan, Zeng Guofan..."
Zeng San was also a fiery temper, as soon as he heard this, he couldn't bear it anymore, and rode his gun and horse straight towards Guo Potian to kill.
Guo Potian didn't want to fight him alone, with a big machete in his hand, the soldiers and horses behind him rushed over at once, and before Zeng San rushed out a few steps, he drowned it, and the black iron flow not only rushed past Zeng San, but also rushed towards Zeng Guofan's group of people.
"Yuandu, protect the military division and the marshal, the others, follow me." Zeng Guoquan saw that the situation was critical and shouted.
With that, he slapped his horse and rushed forward.
As soon as the two armies came into contact, they began to fight, the Qing army had just gone through the baptism of fire, physically and mentally exhausted, while the Taiping army was full of wine and food, waiting for work, the battle between the two armies, the judgment was made, and as time went by, the Qing army resisted more and more difficult.
Zeng Guofan and Zhao Xiaofeng saw it in their eyes, anxious in their hearts, and thought hard about good strategies, but the matter has come to this point, there is no choice but to fight again, and according to the analysis of the current situation, it may be even more difficult for them to get out of today's predicament.
"Marshal, the last general will escort you and the military advisor to rush over first." Li Yuandu said suddenly.
"Are you sure?" Zeng Guofandao.
"The last general analyzed the situation on the battlefield and thought that as long as the two generals of Guohua and Guoquan stepped forward to attack Guo Potian and block him, then the last general would be sure to protect the two of them and rush over." Li Yuandu looked quite confident.
"Guohua, Guoquan, you come back." Zeng Guofan heard that there was an opportunity to rush over, and immediately called the two brothers back.
"Two generals, the last general plans to escort the commander and the military division to rush over first, but the two generals need to cooperate." Li Yuandu Dao.
"Okay, no problem, as long as the big handsome can rush out, you can say anything." Zeng Guohua and Zeng Guoquan have no opinion.
"But, after the commander leaves, what about the soldiers?" Zeng Guofan could not patronize himself and escaped.
"Dashuai, you go first, I, Guohua, and San'er will gather the soldiers behind, and then follow." Zeng Guoquan Road.
"Everything can't be everything, marshal, listen to a few generals, you leave first, so that a few generals can concentrate on the enemy, and then, it's not too late to gather the generals." Li Hongzhang also persuaded.
"I'll go and call General Luo back, and you and him will escort the marshal forward, which is a little safer." Zeng Guoquan Road.
"That's the best." Li Yuandu Dao.
After a while, Luo Zenan also retreated, Zeng Guoquan told him what everyone meant, and Luo Zenan readily agreed.
"Wait a minute, I'm in front, Zenan, you're behind, let's protect the marshal and the military advisor and rush out together." Li Yuandu Dao.
"Okay." South Luo Ze Road.
"Guohua and I are now going forward to attack Guo Potian, you guys are ready." Zeng Guoquan looked at the situation in the field, and whispered to Li Yuandu and Zeng Guofan.
Zeng Guofan and the others nodded, secretly preparing.
"Guo Potian, let grandpa come and play with you." Zeng Guohua was the first to shout and rushed towards Guo Potian.
"Good time." Guo Potian also screamed, and fought with Zeng Guohua.
The two of you come and go, and you are not happy to fight.
"It's so boring to play with two people, I'll make a fuss." Zeng Guoquan also rushed forward.
"Ha, ha, it's all you, what am I afraid of, grandpa." Guo Potian is arrogant.
Guo Potian was not afraid, and danced the machete in his hand impenetrable.
Li Yuandu nervously observed the situation in the field, preparing to rush over as soon as the opportunity came.
It didn't take long for such an opportunity to come, Zeng Guohua and Zeng Guoquan used all their strength to force Guo Potian aside, so as to give way to the middle avenue, so that Li Yuandu and others in the back had the opportunity to rush over.
"Rush." Seeing this opportunity, Li Yuandu shouted and took the lead in rushing forward.
Li Hongzhang and Zeng Guofan urged the horse to keep up, and Luo Zenan broke off.
Originally, the battlefield with staggered teeth gave Li Yuandu a few people a rush, but they were immediately rushed out of a gap, and a few took advantage of the situation to rush over.
Seeing this, Guo Potian wanted to command the others to tighten the defensive line, but Zeng Guohua's two brothers entangled him to the death, so that he could not free his hands, Guo Potian could only watch Zeng Guofan and others rush from under his nose.
Li Yuandu escorted Zeng Guofan out of the danger zone with all his might, and kept running towards his own camp.
In the Taiping army camp, Shi Dakai and others were talking about this battle.
"Brother, I have to praise you, your plan is really wonderful, even if the ovary is reborn and Zhuge reappears, it must be impossible to make such a clever plan." Shi Dakai clapped his hands daxiao said.
"Yes, the students feel the same way, this plan of attaching Ma Ye is really wonderful." Zhao Xiaofeng said.
"Where, where, the prince and Mr. Zhao are too modest." Huang Xu said modestly.
It turned out that the so-called grain storage in Stone City, according to the fact that there was no grain and grass in the past, everything was Huang Xu's suspicious array, the purpose was to lead Zeng Guofan to be fooled, and then burn Stone City, at the same time, he expected that the fire in Stone City could only severely damage Zeng Guofan's army, but could not wipe it out, so, for the sake of insurance, he sent Guo Potian to lead the Mabu army to ambush halfway, in order to plan everything and strive to annihilate the Qing army.
"This time, Zeng Guofan should be difficult to fly with wings." Shi Dakai daxiao road.
"It's hard to say, it's hard to say." Huang Xu shook his head and said.
"The student also agrees with the prince's opinion, but why is the horse master so unconfident." Zhao Xiaofeng said.
"Zeng Guofan is no better than others, and his generals are all brave and good at fighting, unless this fire can burn most of his army, otherwise, it will not be so easy to deal with Zeng Guofan." Huang Xu's understanding of the development of the whole situation can be said to be insightful.
"I don't believe Zeng Guofan would be so lucky." Shi Dakai shook his head and said.
"Lord Wang, don't say it, this Zeng Guofan's good luck is famous, so if you are lucky, it is really possible for him to escape." Shi Dakai's words indirectly reminded Zhao Xiaofeng and made him doubt his previous words.
"We won't carry it like this, if we let him run again this time, it will be too undeserved." Shi Dakai's words also began to become less certain.
"I hope General Guo can bring us good news." Zhao Xiaofeng said.
At this moment when several people were talking, the sentinels who were sent out kept transmitting the news from the front line, and the fire in Stone Town burned Zeng Guofan's men and horses very much, and then, Zeng Guofan was ambushed by Guo Potian, and Guo Potian waited for work and besieged Zeng Guofan, anyway, all the good news came from this burst.
Shi Dakai was overjoyed when he heard the news, and he was optimistic that Zuihou's victory was already in sight.
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, another sentinel came to report that Zeng Guofan had run away.
When Shi Dakai heard the news, he was immediately dumbfounded, he looked at Huang Xu, with a look of disbelief, while Huang Xu shrugged at Shi Dakai, meaning as if to say, as expected.
"Really ran away for this guy again, is he a rabbit?" Zhao Xiaofeng said on the side.
"If you can catch him so easily, then he is not Zeng Guofan." HUANG Xudao.
Huang Xu's words can be regarded as a summary of this action.
Everyone was silent, carefully savoring the meaning of Huang Xu's words.
After a while, someone came to report that General Guo had returned.
A few glanced at each other and felt that it was the right time for Guo Potian to come back, so Shi Dakai ordered, please hurry.
"See the prince." Guo Potian saluted Shi Dakai, and greeted Huang Xu and Zhao Xiaofeng respectively.
"Tell me about the situation." Shi Dakai couldn't wait to find out what was going on.
"Lord Wang, please punish you, it was the last general who was careless and left Zeng Guofan." Guo Potian asked for sin.
"Potian, let's not talk about this first, you can tell the details first." Shi Dakai waved his hand and asked him to tell what had happened first.
Guo Potian didn't dare to slack off, and told the whole thing as it happened, and what he said was basically the same as the news reported by the sentinels.
"Potian, you can't be blamed for this, you also tried your best, I think it's also our lack of consideration, if we can send a few more generals to go at that time, maybe Zeng Guofan will be taken." This really can't be blamed on Guo Potian.
Shi Dakai is also a wise gentleman in the end, of course he understands the crux of the problem.
"Lord Wang..."Guo Potian still wanted to say more.
"Okay, Potian, no need to say it again, you report the details of the battle damage and the enemy beheading this time, although you didn't do your best and let Zeng Guofan run away, but in the end it is a big victory, since it is a big victory, then we have to reward clearly, this matter must not be sloppy." Shi Da Kaidao.
"Yes, Lord Wang, I will arrange this." Guo Potian finished speaking and retreated.
"Lord Wang, don't be unhappy, as you said, this battle is a big victory anyway." HUANG Xudao.
"Yes, you are right, although it is a fly in the ointment, it is also a heavy blow to the Qing army, since this is the case, then we will set up a banquet tonight to entertain these hard-working soldiers." Shi Da Kaidao.
"The prince is wise." Huang Xu and Zhao Xiaofeng said at the same time. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (biquge.info) to vote for recommendation and monthly pass. Your support is my biggest motivation ......)
