Chapter Seventy-Seven: An Accident

His mother ×, she really thought it would be great to raise the flag, but she was just the godson of the Manchurians, the turtle grandson who licked his beard. Daniel Zhang scolded angrily and walked around the tent, but the anger in his heart did not diminish at all.

Daniel Zhang has been suppressed these days, and since the good singing soldiers of the Gan Shaanxi Green Battalion were instructed by Zhu Yongxing, they made up tricks to scold him every day. At the beginning, it was Zhu Yongxing's words, but later it came casually, and the foul slang came everywhere, and the eight generations of ancestors of my father and mother did not let go.

And the tragedy of the attack on the mountain gave these troops room to play, or to empathize with the resentment. Regardless of the life and death of the soldiers, let the soldiers of the same township and land be in the wilderness, only care about their own wealth and wealth, and stain their red tops with blood...... The more he scolded, the more poisonous he became, Daniel Zhang was simply worse than an animal.

At first, Daniel Zhang didn't think about it, but as a general, he had seen a lot of similar psychological warfare. But after a long time, coupled with the fact that there are many wounded and sick soldiers in such a harsh environment, there will definitely be no fewer complaints, and even Daniel Zhang has been affected. Perhaps it was the effect of psychological suggestion, he felt that the way the battalion sergeant looked at him had changed, contempt, resentment, anger...... The more I think about it, the more disturbing it becomes.

The appearance of deserters made Daniel Zhang realize that if this continued, the army's morale would collapse. The partial line Guoan was also full of anger and could not vent, and it happened that his subordinate Han army caught a few deserters from the Ganshan Green Battalion, and they all beheaded without knowing that they would meet Daniel Zhang.

This matter is not big or small. Deserters, since ancient times, there is no good result when you are caught. But the key is that the two of them have a dislike in their hearts, and they will inevitably have other ideas. Daniel Zhang was angry in his heart, but he still endured it. Of course, he also made arrangements, and when the food and grass were insufficient, he used this as an excuse to withdraw to Yongchang and no longer play with the madman line Guoan.

But the matter did not end there, with a night sneak attack, the contradiction between the Han army of Line Guoan and Daniel Zhang's Gan Shaanxi Green Battalion suddenly sharpened. This was Bai Wenxuan's arrangement, and it was also a common method for treating prisoners at that time. Difficult tasks such as organizing captives into cannon fodder units to take the lead, or siege cities, have consumed the enemy, and those who survive will be considered more reliable, and will be used as reinforcements or auxiliaries.

Zhu Yongxing had some contradictions in his heart, accepting surrender was to make the enemy lay down his arms and give up resistance, and in turn let them become traitors and kill each other with his former robes, although this was a common practice at that time, but it did not conform to his concept.

Therefore, he made a change to this, that is, he did not stop the prisoners who were willing to do this, which was also a way for them to prove that they had woken up and enjoyed the treatment of the Ming army early; Those who do not want to do so will continue to serve hard labor, and will not be reluctant. Moreover, Zhu Yongxing let these captives of the Ganshan Green Battalion attack the Han army at night to reduce the resistance in their hearts.

The battle lasted for such a long time, Zhu Yongxing's steady and conservative attitude made the Qing army paralyzed, coupled with this harsh environment and the hard fighting for several days, the exhausted Qing army did not expect that the Ming army would organize death squads to carry out night attacks. And these attackers wore the uniforms of the Ganshan Green Battalion and wore braids, which also became a more effective camouflage.

The results of the night attack were not great, but the Qing army could not stop for half a night, and there was also a misunderstanding between the Han army and the Ganshan Green Battalion. This made the relationship between Line Guoan and Daniel Zhang suddenly on the verge of breaking and turning their faces, and Line Guoan came angrily, put the blame on Daniel Zhang and Gan Shaanxi Green Camp, broke his mouth and cursed, and then broke the curtain and left, leaving Daniel Zhang in the tent with resentment.

Hey, this is really an indelible stain, Daniel Zhang thought of those prisoners who added chaos, and he was angry, but he felt helpless and even a little afraid. It is common for the two armies to exchange troops, and it is common for prisoners to be captured, but now the situation is different, and once it is lost, the line Guoan will definitely take advantage of this to make a big fuss. And just now, Line Guoan has revealed the intention of withdrawing troops, which means that he has already figured out how to get rid of the excuse of accountability.

In addition to emphasizing environmental factors, it should not be surprising that this guy is definitely going to step on me and put the blame on the head of the Ganshan Green Camp. Daniel Zhang frowned and thought hard about countermeasures.

"Governor." Without waiting for the report, a general hurriedly ran in, causing Daniel Zhang's eyes to widen, and the general hurriedly saluted and reported: "Dudu, the enemy on the mountain has withdrawn." ”

"What?" Daniel Zhang's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe his ears.

"The enemy has withdrawn." The general repeated it again, then looked around like a thief, and then said: "The Han army still doesn't know the way, and that bastard of the line Guoan seems to have the intention of pulling out the camp. ”

Daniel Zhang blinked, regained some sanity, and asked, "Did you send someone to investigate?" ”

"Yes." The general nodded firmly and said, "The two soldiers who secretly climbed up the hill to collect the corpses found that the situation was wrong, so they came back to report. The subordinates didn't believe it at first, so they sent their own soldiers to secretly go up the mountain. Sure enough, the flags on the mountain were bluffed, but the Ming army was gone. ”

Daniel Zhang frowned, walked back and forth in the tent, and suddenly stood still, with a smile on his face, "Bluff flag, hehe, actually hid from me." Okay, okay, now see what else you have to say. After speaking, he turned his head to look at his subordinates, and solemnly explained: "This matter must not be publicized, you go to the whole team immediately, we must storm the mountain and seize the great merit." ”

"Understood, Governor." The general nodded understandingly, turned around and walked out, and scolded in his mouth: "Let the bastard with the surname line follow us and eat shit!" ”

Daniel Zhang smiled slightly and shouted outside: "Come, go and invite Mr. Li." ”

Fight bravely, defeat the enemy, and win the danger in a bloody battle...... Daniel Zhang had already thought of a few words of the report document, although he did not get the first rank of the Ming army and did not capture the Ming army prisoners, but it could be said that it was dark and rainy, the muddy road was slippery, and he did not pursue deeply out of caution. With Mr. Li's wonderful brushstrokes, these can cover up the past. This time, depending on what you say about the national security, it is our Ganshan Green Battalion that has taken the lead in building a miraculous feat, and has seized the most important natural danger in Tengchong.

Daniel Zhang felt that this was an opportunity to turn himself into a favor, and he had to seize it. As for future military operations, he has not yet thought about it, and it will have to be determined according to the situation.

But what did the enemy do and retreat? After a moment of surprise, Daniel Zhang muttered again. Is it to lure our army deeper, or is it really impossible to hold on? Since Daniel Zhang could not accurately grasp the casualties of the Ming army, he only made a rough estimate based on his own losses. Kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 yourself. The Ming army occupies a geographical advantage, if there are no eight hundred, there will always be four or five hundred, right? In this way, the Ming army has indeed suffered a lot of losses these days!
