Seeing that the generals during the day were less than half, Shanlu was sad and didn't have the heart to think about other things, and asked, "Have the people who sent Lu to ask for help come back?" The camp is only a dozen miles away from here, and the Governor's reinforcements should have arrived long ago. ”

Dong Zhanyuan let out a sigh, looking forward to the Nar Sutra even more in his heart, and whispered: "The Governor still has 8,000 people, and the short-haired ones below are up to 10,000 people, if the Governor comes to support us, everyone will still be able to escape." ”

One by one, the bearded lieutenant generals sighed: "Short-haired Huaiqing Mansion doesn't fight, but you look at us?" Could it be that Yu Bingtao has surrendered to a thief? ”

This sentence resonated with everyone, and they echoed it.

Dong Zhanyuan suppressed everyone's doubts and said loudly: "Everyone shut up, the top priority now is to fight out of the encirclement, as for whether Yu Bingtao fights or surrenders, that is a matter for the governor to consider." ”

"It's better for us to break through at night, we are only ten miles away from the camp, and we can converge in less than an hour." Someone loudly proposed.

The bearded lieutenant quickly shook his head, he didn't want to go through another escape: "No, it's better to wait for the governor to come to save him." ”

Yu Yi echoed: "What Vice Admiral Zhang said is right, even if the messenger doesn't run out, we haven't heard from us for so long, and the Governor will send someone to investigate, maybe the army has already set off, so it's better for us to wait with peace of mind." ”

He was right, Nar was really suspicious, but he only sent a few scouts to inquire about the news, and the army didn't even move.

"What do you say, Shanlu they are surrounded by shorthair?"

The spy replied affirmatively: "I can see it clearly, there are several flags on the hillside, among which the word 'understand' is a big banner. It is most conspicuous. ”

"How many troops does Shorthair have?"

"It was gray, and the small ones couldn't see clearly. But there were at least more than 10,000 people, and the artillery roared. ”

Nar held his forehead on his forehead. Secretly scolded these bastards and told them not to chase so far, but they didn't listen, and they were ambushed by Shorthair, how can this be good?

"Dong Zhanyuan, how many people do they have?"

The spy silently calculated for a while, and replied: "The hillside is two miles in radius, and the small ones are not clear, but there are only 5,000 people in the long run. ”

Nar was prepared, but he still didn't expect that there were only so many people left. scolded: "Misleading the country!" Of the more than 13,000 people, less than 5,000 remained, and there was no one who even came back to report the news! ”

Nar had no choice but to gather the generals to discuss how to get them out.

The idea is good, but the reality is cruel.

"Report ...... Your Excellency the Governor, there is a big drum and a short hair outside our barracks. ”

Before he could speak, Nar received the news, immediately changed his mind, and instructed the generals: "Everyone go back and guard the camp." It is not allowed to attack without permission, and the rear battalion protects the ships in case the shorthair steals our back road! ”

"Obedience"

The sky gradually brightened, and the anticipation of Shanlu and the others gradually sank to the bottom. There were no reinforcements outside, but the enemy was regrouping for battle, and the morale of the army was at its lowest.

Chen Yucheng is arranging combat missions. He plays with a three-in-one approach.

"Tan Shaoguang!"

"The last general!"

"You will lead 3,000 men to attack from the west and south!"

"The last general obeys!"

"Liu Lichuan!"

"The last general!"

"You lead 2,000 people to ambush three miles to the north, and you are not allowed to let go of the Qing army!"

"The last general obeys!"

Chen Yucheng paused. Said: "The rest of the men and horses will follow me to attack from the front!" ”

"The last general commands!"

Seeing Chen Yucheng appear at the front in a military uniform, the morale of the Han soldiers was high. A cannon sounded, and three sides rushed to the Qing army camp at the same time.

Seeing the Han army getting closer and closer, Yu Yi shouted hoarsely: "Shoot!" Shoot! ”

"Bang Bang"

Chen Yucheng bowed his head, when the Qing army fired, he rolled on a donkey on the ground, dodged the bullets, and when they changed the bullets, he got up and continued to rush forward, only for a while, he broke away from the front more than 50 steps, and rushed to the Qing army position alone.

Yu Yu also noticed Chen Yucheng, and seeing that the foreign guns always missed him, he shouted to the soldiers on the left and right: "Take this person's head, and reward one hundred and ten taels of silver!" ”

"Killing" more than a dozen pro-soldiers were red-eyed, and rushed towards Chen Yucheng with a knife.

"Kill" Chen Yucheng bowed his body, also faced them, stabbed left and right, killed five people in just a few breaths, ignored the rest of the people, and rushed to the Qing army's gun array.

Looking at Chen Yucheng's face up close, Yu Yu's soul was scattered, this figure appeared again, yesterday it was this person who rushed into his military formation, I don't know how many people he killed in just a quarter of an hour, more than 1,000 people he worked hard to gather, he was killed and scattered in all directions, only he saw that the situation was not good, and fled back.

Seeing Chen Yucheng rushing into the gun formation, Yu Yu slowly retreated, listening to the familiar screams, he couldn't control himself anymore, turned around and ran.

"Kill!" When the Han sergeant saw the commander enter the enemy formation, he cheered and accelerated forward.

"Surrender or kill!"

"Capture Dong Zhanyuan alive!"

"Capture Shanlu alive!"

Listening to the shouts of killing that were getting closer and closer, he was powerless to reverse the occupation, Shanlu no longer pretended to be calm, returned to the tent, the more he thought about it, the more ashamed he became, and he committed suicide with his sword.

Yu Yi rode a horse and tried to escape, but met Dong Zhanyuan who was scurrying around at the gate of the village.

Dong Zhanyuan took the opportunity to step forward and said: "Get off the horse and give the horse to this official!" ”

Yu Yi's face was cloudy, and when he saw the rout soldiers rushing to flee for his life, he turned his heart sideways, beat his horse away, and turned around and shouted: "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely ask for reinforcements and answer my lord!" ”

Dong Zhanyuan looked at Yu Yi who was rushing forward in front of him, reacted, and scolded loudly: "Bastard, this official treats you well, you ...... You will take revenge! You don't die well. ”

"Capture Dong Zhanyuan alive!"

Dong Zhanyuan heard the shouts of the Han army, and turned around in a hurry, and saw that there was a grass field in front of him, so he didn't have time to think about it, threw down his blade, and lay down inside, waiting anxiously.

The original Qing army's big tent, Chen Yucheng and others looked happy, this battle wiped out 5,000 Qing troops, their own casualties were less than 10% of yesterday's, counting, counting yesterday's battle, a total of more than 4,000 Qing troops were annihilated, 8,000 prisoners, and the strength of the Qing army was greatly weakened.

Xu Guangyao walked in excitedly and reported: "General Qiyu, our army captured one commander, two commanders, a total of thirteen generals and deputy generals, and the commander of the Qing army, General Suiyuan, committed suicide. ”

Chen Yucheng laughed, thought of the policy promulgated by the Ministry of War, and said: "According to the usual practice, choose an incompetent official and let him go to persuade the defenders of Huaiqing Mansion to surrender." ”

"Yes"

The rout fled into Dazhai, and when Nar heard that the Han army had annihilated the Qing army on the periphery, he panicked in his heart, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he let the army pull out the camp and abandon the village, intending to flee to Shanxi to avoid the edge temporarily.

Huang Zaixing had been waiting for a long time, half-crossing and attacking, the Qing army suffered heavy casualties, and countless people were drowned, and under the escort of more than 1,000 people, Nar Jing'er took the lead in landing on the shore and fled north on foot.

Nar fled all the way to Zezhou, Shanxi, and wrote a letter of impeachment to the Suiyuan general Shanlu and the acting governor of Zhili, Dong Zhanyuan, who lightly advanced the enemy and annihilated the whole army. Ordered people to rush to Beijing as soon as possible.

Nar Jingyi thought that the emperor would give him a chance to make meritorious service as usual, but he didn't expect Xianfeng to receive this letter.

"Smack!" Xianfeng slammed the royal table fiercely, in order to suppress the fear in his heart, his hands tore apart the fold of the Nar warp, there seemed to be a ball of anger burning in his chest, and his voice was already hoarse: "These dog minions, after losing the battle, they still blame each other, I handed over the army to him, and the whole army was wiped out in less than a month, and I don't even know what the enemy general is called, what do I leave him for, the intended purpose, Nar is mediocre and misleading the country, and he will be dismissed and investigated!" ”

Su Shun single-handedly caused the end of the political enemy Nar Jing, but he didn't have the slightest feeling of joy in his heart, and sighed in his heart: The Qing Dynasty can't afford to toss.

Ruihua secretly raised his head, caught a glimpse of Xianfeng's face flushed, his chest rose and fell, his fists clenched, obviously extremely angry, and he was afraid in his heart, and swallowed the words that came to his mouth.

Su Shun bowed forward and reported: "Your Majesty, there has been a great drought in some areas of Zhili, since February this year, there has been no rain, the reservoirs and rivers have dried up, the land has been compacted, the people have no harvest, and most of the people live on a few nests. ”

Xianfeng's mood turned low, these days he is also worried about the drought in Zhili, most of the Qing provinces have fallen, only a few northern provinces remain, he doesn't want to have an accident in his henchmen.

Mu Yin continued: "Shandong Zhang Liangji came to report that there are many short-haired firearms, and the officers and soldiers have suffered heavy casualties, and he asked to buy foreigners' firearms, but short-haired has been in Yizhou Mansion and Jinan Mansion cannot support it for two months. After speaking, he glanced at Ruihua.

Xianfeng frowned and was discouraged: "The foreigners are hateful, and they no longer receive envoys from the Qing Dynasty, where can I buy this foreign gun?" Or, send a group from the Hunan army to support Shandong and Henan? ”

Seeing that Xianfeng was calm, Ruihua put his mind at ease and stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the special envoy of the Russian Governor of Eastern Siberia, Muravyovsky, wants to see him?" ”

Xianfeng listened to the long list of names, and was in a bad mood, and scolded: "The foreigners in the north are even more bastards, since I ascended the throne, Heilongjiang General Yishan has reported several times that the Russians have invaded the land of Longxing in the Qing Dynasty, and I didn't send troops to fight them, so he dared to go to Beijing?" ”

Ruihua received a lot of benefits from the Russians, and considered: "Your Majesty, the Russians are not all bad, this Perovsky sent us a hundred foreign guns." ”

Xianfeng was surprised, and immediately became happy, and was worried that there was no place to buy foreign guns, so someone automatically sent them to the door, and said excitedly: "Does Russia promise to sell foreign guns and foreign guns to Daqing?" If the short hair can't hit Beijing, I can rest assured! ”

Ruihua said with a smile: "This foreigner army is all armed with firearms, and there are millions of foreign guns, even if they are sold to tens of thousands of them in the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty has a lot of resources, and it is enough to take out a few things casually." ”

Xianfeng nodded with satisfaction, thinking of the battle on the front line, he felt a little impatient, and hurriedly said: "You send someone to bring the foreign envoy to the Summer Palace, and I want to talk to them about the foreign gun in person." (To be continued......)
