Chapter 250: Split
Jin Wuxi sinks, the moon rabbit rises eastward, the Hunan army camp is silent, only a few torches are crackling and burning, with the flickering firelight, the camp flickering, the patrol soldiers and horses also seem to cope with errands, just walk around the camp, perfunctory, the Taiping army spies not far away glanced at each other, and slowly crawled back.
Ji Wenyuan heard that the Hunan army was not on guard, and his first thought was not to send an army to sneak attack, but to withdraw safely and with confidence.
In order to prevent the Hunan army from plotting, Ji Wenyuan ordered the strong soldiers to walk in front, and the old and weak women and children to walk behind.
Taking advantage of the dark clouds shrouded in the moonlight, tens of thousands of Taiping troops withdrew from the city, and according to the expected plan, they converged with Ji Wenyuan's army on the path south of the city, and hurriedly turned westward.
When the army marched to Dumu Town, twenty miles away, because of physical strength, the Taiping army's team was stretched more than ten miles long, and Ji Wenyuan led his cronies and the elite men and horses of the vanguard to rush desperately, and they had already separated from the old and weak women and children.
Looking at the way the Taiping Army marched, Li Chendian came to Bao Chao at a trott, and asked, "My lord, this long-haired marching route is more than ten miles long, which section are we fighting?" ”
Bao Chao hesitated, the Taiping Army striker had already run out of the ambush area, sighed secretly, and could only whisper: "After a while, the main characters of Longhair are all in the Chinese army, this is just the striker." ”
Li Chendian nodded for a while, returned to his camp, and continued to wait.
In the slow torment, half an hour finally passed. The more Li Chendian looked at it, the more wrong it became, just because the marching contingent of the Taiping army was becoming more and more sparse, and it was very different from the previous neat contingent. As a last resort, he ran to Bao Chao again and said loudly: "My lord! Long-haired and cunning, these are just old and weak women and children, and the strong have already run away! ”
Because Bao Chao stayed in the rear, he didn't know the situation ahead, so he listened to Li Chendian's words. Surprised and annoyed, he ordered his cronies on the left and right: "Pass the order, the army will attack!" ”
"Kill!" The Hunan army that was ambushed near the left came out. The Taiping soldiers on the road did not dare to fight at all, and scattered in a hurry, fleeing in all directions.
Listening to the earth-shattering shouts of killing, Yang Fuqing was shocked and frightened. smiled at Ji Wenyuan: "Thanks to Brother Ji, it is well arranged. The Qing Demon pounced, otherwise we would have been fowled by the Qing Demon, and now we will wait to kill back, the Qing Demon will be caught off guard, and the Heavenly Army will win. ”
Ji Wenyuan only had luck left in his heart, how could he dare to kill back, the remaining thousands of people were the capital of his start, and he was terrified. I thought that all the men and horses behind were intercepted by the Hunan army, and immediately ordered: "The whole army continues to advance!" ”
Yang Fuqing was stunned. Angry and angry, he stopped Ji Wenyuan's war horse, and angrily reprimanded: "The back are all your own brothers, why don't you save them!" ”
Ji Wenyuan was ashamed and angry, he had the intention to slaughter this burden who didn't know the times, and he was worried that the generals in the army would not be convinced, so he endured it for a while before replying: "I am also thinking about the brothers, the situation behind is unknown, the sound of killing is shocking, it must be the Hunan army converging the remaining two soldiers and horses, ambushing us, delaying for a while, we are all in danger, how can we go back and throw ourselves into the net!" ”
"Phew!" Yang Fuqing took off his saliva, saw Ji Wenyuan holding the saber tightly, shivered, and without hesitation, he took a few guards and rode back.
Ji Wenyuan exclaimed: "Don't worry about him! The whole army continues to move forward! ”
Before Ji Wenyuan finished speaking, more than ten horsemen in the army chased Yang Fuqing, and the rest of the generals looked at each other, and some broke away from the army and chased after the previous dozen or so horsemen.
Seeing the rest of the generals bowing their heads weakly, Ji Wenyuan jumped like thunder, personally led his cronies to the palace, and ordered the army to continue to advance, which stopped the chaos.
"Lord Kunjong! Lord Kunjong! Wait a minute! ”
Yang Fuqing heard a shout behind him, grabbed the reins, and slowly drove the horse to turn around, thinking that it was Ji Wenyuan who had a change of heart, but who knew that there were only more than ten horsemen behind him.
Huang Wenjin stepped forward and arched his hand: "Lord Guozong is high-minded, I can't get used to seeing Naji Wenyuan, so I'm here to help." ”
Yang Fuqing was overjoyed and said to Huang Wenjin: "With Prime Minister Huang Cheng's help, Yang is grateful, but the king of the east is dead, and the name of Guozong is mentioned again." ”
Huang Wenjin smiled: "Hahaha! Okay, I'll call you Brother Yang, don't call me Prime Minister, since we have left the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the official title will naturally stop. ”
Huang Wenjin pointed to the people behind him and introduced: "This is my cousin Huang Wenying, next to my good brother Liu Guan." ”
Yang Fuqing nodded to the two of them respectively, and suddenly there was a sound of horses' hooves behind them, and several people stopped to watch, and after a while, more than 20 horsemen caught up.
Yang Fuqing looked at the appearance of the few people who rushed over, it was actually his nominal younger brother, Yang Yiqing, Yang Yiqing, Yang Jinqing, and said with great joy: "The third, fourth, and fifth brothers are also here!" ”
Yang Yiqing took the lead and said: "Ji Wenyuan's family is too empty, he looks down on the second brother, he just looks down on us, what else do our brothers do with him." ”
Yang Yiqing's brothers have always been not on good terms with Yang Fuqing, they are all Yang Xiuqing's figures, and they are respected by the national sect, just because among their brothers, Yang Xiuqing trusts Yang Fuqing alone, and he is also entrusted with important tasks, and the military power and official positions are above them, which makes them envious and jealous.
Huang Wenjin said with a smile: "Everyone, let's elect Brother Yang as the leader, and hurry up to rescue the brothers behind, so as not to be wiped out by the Qing Demon." ”
"That's right!" Yang Yiqing and the others immediately nodded in agreement.
Yang Fuqing led more than 50 horsemen to the battlefield, only to see the Taiping army bumping and bumping like ducks, scurrying around, and three or five Qing demons were chasing hundreds of soldiers of the Heavenly Army, and not far away there were several Hunan soldiers surrounding women, as if no one was around, wantonly playing and teasing.
"Kill!" Yang Fuqing took the lead and killed the Hunan army.
Dozens of people fought and left, gathered the rout, the Taiping army routed Yang Fuqing and others, like seeing a savior, did not hesitate to follow behind, only marched less than three miles, and gathered four or five thousand men and horses, but Yang Fuqing and others became more and more courageous, killing a small group of Hunan troops crying dad and calling mother, and retreated.
Li Chendian's face was covered with blood, with dozens of routs, scrambling to flee first, just now he was raping a few beautiful women, and was suddenly attacked by Huang Wenying, and was caught off guard, he was stabbed all over by this fifteen or sixteen-year-old general, covered in blood, and fled in embarrassment.
Jiang Zhongjun and others also noticed the abnormality on the battlefield, hurriedly gathered their men and horses, and moved closer to Bao Chao, meeting Li Chendian on the way, looking at his embarrassed appearance, they made up their minds, and secretly said: Li Fentong is so capable of fighting, he was also defeated, it seems that the long-haired brigade has returned to help.
When Li Chendian saw Bao Chao, as if he had seen a relative, he knelt on the ground and cried: "My lord, the long-haired army has returned to help, there are tens of thousands of horses, and the brothers are scattered all over the place, and they can't resist it." ”
Bao Chao only thought that the enemy army really had reinforcements, and without thinking, he immediately ordered the army to drop all the prisoners and baggage and retreat immediately.
Liu Jintang came to Bao Chao with a man in his forties, and said excitedly: "My lord, this person claims to be from the Han Kingdom, do you see if it is the person who the marshal ordered us to save." ”
Bao Chao was taken aback, endured his excitement, and asked, "What's your name, is your surname Hu?" ”
Hu Kuan, that is, Hu Mengjun's father, didn't expect that he had just come out of the wolf's den and entered the tiger's den, and he had the heart to surrender, and he thought of the Qing Dynasty's declining days and the future of his son Hu Mengjun. ”
"Ha Lu Ha ......" Bao Chao was overjoyed, and smiled at Li Chendian and others: "It takes no effort to step on the iron shoes and find nowhere to get them, and the handsome man has told us thousands of times, and we have finally lived up to expectations." ”
Hu Kuan thought they were laughing at him, and said angrily: "Hmph! What are you proud of? The Qing Dynasty is dead, and one day the Han army will kill your lair and avenge me. ”
Bao Chao was stunned for a moment, took a few steps back, and said to Hu Kuan: "Mr. Hu is worried, Zeng Dashuai heard that Lord Hu was trapped by long hair, and sent me to come to the rescue. ”
Bao Chao is a rough person, racking his brains to come up with these words, but he flatters and admits his mistakes, but he shows it all.
Liu Jintang said to Hu Kuan: "Mr. Hu doesn't know, our Zeng Dashuai has always admired His Majesty, the Emperor of the Han Kingdom, and now the two families have become good friends of Qin and Jin, and they will not attack each other." ”
Qin Jinzhi is good? Don't attack each other? No way! After thinking about it for a while, Hu Kuan understood that he had shaved his head and wanted to surrender, so he half-pushed and half-followed Bao Chao and others to Zunyi Mansion. (To be continued......)
