Chapter 104: Two Broken Camps
Half an hour later, the battle was completely over, and the infantry and auxiliaries began to eat in batches, ready to move forward.
"The earth is shaking, it's so powerful!" Mengzhu gave Zhu Yongxing a chopstick dish, and said with a smile: "I was shocked to hear it in the back." Your Highness, when did you get this artifact? β
"Hmm, hmm-" Zhu Yongxing swallowed the food in his mouth and said perfunctorily: "Actually, it's not a few days, and it's not an artifact, it's just a cannon." β
Thighs, pink panties, lace trim...... Zhu Yongxing only glanced at Mengzhu, and those temptations were all over his mind, which made him a little distracted.
"Such a powerful cannon, only one pillar of incense broke through the Qing army camp." Mengzhu made a sound and rolled his eyes, which immediately aroused Zhu Yongxing's vigilance.
Zhu Yongxing looked at Mengzhu thoughtfully, and involuntarily added another piece of "equipment" to her - a bra, which also needs pink and lace. The panties have been changed, and changing to a thong is the most tempting.
"Your Highnessβ" Mengzhu was a little weak-hearted, and called out weakly.
"It is said that girls are extroverted and their elbows are turned outward." Zhu Yongxing shook his head, temporarily shook off the messy obscenity, and teased with a smile: "But I know that this doesn't seem to be right, no matter how I look at you, my elbows are turned inward, and my heart is towards my mother's family." β
Mengzhu blushed a little and snorted, "How can there be?" Besides, even if I think more about my people, there's nothing wrong with that! Haven't you married yet, how can you tell the difference between here and outside? β
Zhu Yongxing blinked his eyes and couldn't help laughing, this reason is really reasonable. is married, that is a relatively high-level love, people are not yours yet, why do you say that the elbow is turned outward.
Mengzhu was even more embarrassed by laughter, simply put down her rice bowl, made a grimace at Zhu Yongxing, turned around and ran out.
"Hey, let's go after eating!" Zhu Yongxing shouted, and when he saw that there was no response, he couldn't help but shake his head. Silly girl, eat more to grow faster, maybe I will change my mind, get married in advance, and then go to that cave room.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
In order to catch up with the retreating Qing army as quickly as possible, Zhu Yongxing broke the routine and ordered the troops who had eaten to rest for half an hour before setting off. Although this caused a break in the ranks of the marching troops, there was a small chance of an accident with cavalry in front of them.
Due to the abandonment of the baggage convoy that most affected the speed of the march, and the temporary replenishment of many Qing prisoners as auxiliaries, some people carried armor and dry rations, the speed of the infantry was greatly accelerated. Zhu Yongxing remembers walking 30 kilometers in 10 hours when he was hiking at school; Moreover, after graduating, he worked as a donkey traveler and had rich experience in hiking, walking more than 40 kilometers in one day, and it seemed that he did not reach the limit of his body.
Of course, the physique of the soldiers at that time may not be as good as Zhu Yongxing, and there is no equipment such as tourist shoes. But according to his estimates, sixty miles a day should still be achievable. Besides, it's not a mountain road.
In terms of time, it was about 3 o'clock in the morning when the attack was launched, about 6 o'clock in the morning when Zhu Yongxing led the first batch of infantry, and it took almost five hours to arrive at the next Qing army camp. Zhu Yongxing was actually not satisfied with this speed, it was only thirty miles, which was about the same speed as hiking when he was a student.
Looking at the state of the soldiers, it is okay, which is somewhat due to the measures of leggings and burning feet; The auxiliary soldiers were much more miserable, especially the original Qing soldiers who had just been captured and carried armor and dry food, and they didn't dare to say anything when they were tired, for fear of being hacked to death with a knife and thrown on the side of the road. This was also the custom in the army at that time, and the auxiliaries were like cattle, not to mention these prisoners, who usually did heavy work and were sometimes used as cannon fodder. But Zhu Yongxing has strictly forbidden this, which is not what those captives know.
The bombed-up gates, the blackened and broken walls, and the dark red and purple colors on the ground all tell people about the battles that took place here and the miserable fate of another Qing army.
This camp is not as large as the Gudong camp of the Qing army in terms of scale and solidity, and even the trench is only hastily dug and the width is not large. After all, in the eyes of Daniel Zhang and Line Guoan, this kind of camp is just a temporary transit station and support point, and they never dreamed that the Ming army suddenly had a sharp weapon to attack the fortification.
When Bai Wenxuan, the king of Zhao, Ma Bao, the king of Ruyang, Liu Zhen, the prince of Shu, and Zhang Guoyong, the general, led more than 5,000 cavalry to arrive here, the line Guoan had already continued to retreat with his troops. For this small camp, as well as the two thousand defenders, these Ming generals will naturally not be polite. It was almost a copy of the front of the Gudong camp, and after two rounds of artillery bombardment, the cavalry launched a charge, jumped directly over the trench, and entered the camp.
The Qing troops left behind were all infantry, and they didn't even have a chance to escape, and after being blown up, they were slashed and killed by the fierce cavalry for a while.
This is a flowering bomb, even in modern times, even during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, it is also a very powerful weapon. Although black powder is now used, the Qing army has seen this kind of powerful bombing several times.
Zhu Yongxing glanced at the crater in front of the camp and couldn't help but smile proudly. Since he was so confident, he didn't pay much attention to Zhang Guo's exaggerated and ostentatious battle narration when he came to greet him, but he just cared about Bai Wenxuan and the others leading the cavalry to continue the pursuit.
"His Royal Highness Zhao and the King of Ruyang continue to lead their troops in pursuit, if they encounter such a camp again, it will be easy to break it with one blow. However, I learned from the prisoners that the line national security department should not be far away, and I am afraid that it should not be too easy. Zhang Guoyong had a confident smile on his face, but he seemed to have some regret, thinking that it was because he was left to guard the camp, "It's just that there is no news yet, I'm afraid it's because Your Highness came quickly." Tsk, the infantry has such speed, it's quite remarkable. It can only be done under the command of Your Highness! β
Zhu Yongxing smiled faintly and said: "It's just a hurry, how can it be compared to the cavalry chasing and attacking the city." By the way, seeing the smoke curling in this camp, General Zhang thought that even the meal was almost ready. β
"Your Highness will wait for a while, and then you can have a full meal." Zhang Guoyong smiled a little smugly and said, "Leaving me here is to take care of the prisoners and receive His Highness's army." Isn't it a dereliction of duty if you are not well prepared? β
"General Zhang worked hard." Zhu Yongxing praised it, and laughed self-deprecatingly: "Presumably, there is a lot of grain and grass in this camp, and I ordered the soldiers to carry dry food, which is a bit redundant." β
"Who would have thought it would be so easy to storm a city?" Zhang Guoyong seemed to feel the same way, and echoed and said: "If we continue to fight like this, it will be the easiest for our army to feed the enemy." β
Zhu Yongxing pondered for a while, shook his head and said: "It's better not to be too light on the enemy, bring a few days of dry food, it's not too heavy, you don't have to be so tricky." β
"Your Highness's words are exactly the best way to go." Zhang Guoyong complimented and had already let Zhu Yongxing and the others into the tent.
"Let the soldiers seize the time to rest and eat, and after a maximum of an hour, our army will continue to advance." Zhu Yongxing gave an order to the accompanying generals, paused, and added: "The auxiliaries should also feed them, including those prisoners." β
