Chapter 262 Moving to Pingdugou Grain and grass are in danger
After the casualties were counted, Shi Dayong routinely sent the bodies of the Jinzhou soldiers killed in the battle back to his hometown, and the dead captives were buried on the spot.
In this battle, 135 wolf cavalry were killed, 120 light cavalry, 170 Changping veterans of the left and right battalions of the infantry army, 1,360 captive soldiers, 260 new Qi Sanbao troops, 140 Wang Tiande's troops, 18 horse thieves under Peng Dazhui, and 2,203 people were killed, including 425 Jinzhou veterans, accounting for more than two-thirds of the Jinzhou veterans who went south.
There are only 275 Jinzhou veterans left in the current Jinzhou army, of which 165 are wolf cavalry, and the rest are light cavalry and Changping veterans of the left and right battalions of the infantry army. Wang Tiande's department had 360 men, Qi Sanbao also had 240 men, and together with the captured soldiers who had not been executed, a total of 1,150 people.
In addition, there are 16 horse thieves under Peng Dazhui and 40 personal soldiers led by Guo Yi. The biggest consequence of this battle was that the Jinzhou Army's capable soldiers were quickly exhausted, and the current Jinzhou Army could no longer undertake the task of fighting independently, and Shi Dayong, a staff general, became a veritable empty general.
After interrogation, it was learned that the commander of the rebel army was not Kong Youde, but the new marshal Li Jiucheng, and that it was the Dongjiang Liao soldiers led by the rebel general Geng Zhongyi who caused heavy casualties to the Jinzhou army.
Wang Chengen once told Shi Dayong that the most important person who prompted Kong Youde to mutiny in Wuqiao was Li Jiucheng, this person was a gambler, and he was the father of Li Yingyuan, the general manager of Confucius.
Such a character, Shi Dayong feels a little similar to himself, the same gambler, the same desperate, and the same reckless.
Two gamblers have a fierce fight, and it's also interesting to think about. If he has the opportunity one day, he will be the marshal of this gambler for a while.
Shi Dayong naturally didn't bother with the corpses of the rebels, and he didn't send anyone to treat those wounded soldiers, leaving them to wail in the corpses
After the end of the "Eleventh Killing", Shi Dayong asked Li Dashan and Shao Wu to clean up the battlefield, gather all the ordnance discarded by the rebels, and asked Cao Bianjiao to immediately lead people to gather the war horses left by the rebels.
In this battle, although there were heavy casualties, the gains were also huge, not to mention the ordnance, even the war horses were afraid that there were hundreds, which could allow all members of the Jinzhou Army to ride and become a mobile mounted infantry army.
The people of Jizhen and Jingying and the ancestral family of Liaodong are afraid that their eyes are red, and Shi Dayong is afraid that they will also have the idea of their own booty, so he wants Xiao Cao to move faster, first put away the war horses that can be collected in front of him, and the rest can be found, and if you can't find it, don't care, if it has been taken away by the people of those two families, don't rob it.
However, after half a pillar of incense, Gao Qiqian sent a eunuch from the imperial horse prison to come and ordered the Jinzhou army to immediately retreat five miles to Pingdugou and set up camp, and Xiaoguantun was taken over by Jin Guoqi's Jizhen army and Jingying. In addition, all materials on the battlefield are not allowed to be taken away, and they are counted and received by the Beijing camp.
The time given to Shi Dayong was only half an hour, and at this time, the sky had already darkened, and most of the camp of the Jinzhou army had been set up, and the sky was still covered with snowflakes, which made people shiver from the cold. This black light blindly moved to Pingdugou, which is simply a matter of human life.
drove himself away again, and robbed himself of things, Eunuch Gao deceived his mother too much! The generals were angry and asked the eunuch why, but the eunuch was not annoyed, but said: "This is the order of Grandpa Gao, if you are not satisfied, go to Grandpa Gao, what kind of anger will you have with our family?" ”
"Just look for it, do you say that our Jinzhou Army is easy to bully!" Li Dashan was furious, so he really wanted to go to Gao Qiqian to ask him clearly.
When the eunuch saw this, he didn't stop anyone, but only sneered and said, "This is not bullying you, but a military order." If you do not comply, you will bear the consequences. With that, he turned around and rode away.
"General, if we don't leave, it's a big deal to fight with him!" Li Dashan is really going to work hard, his eyes are red with anger, and he wants to go in with a white knife with his high eunuch, and the red knife will come out.
Cao Bianjiao and Shao Wu were also furious, and even Peng Dazhui, who had been standing silently and did not speak, and the horse thieves were also irritable, and they couldn't swallow this breath. They also killed more than a dozen brothers, and now the spoils of war that the brothers exchanged for their lives were snatched out of thin air, and a man could not accept it!
Wang Tiande, Qi Sanbao, Zhao Xueqi and others heard the generals of the Liao army scolding their mothers here, and after they understood, Wang Tiande took a sip and did not speak, but Qi Sanbao was the same as the generals of Jinzhou, and was angry at the order of the high eunuch. Zhao Xueqi watched quietly from the side, glanced at Wang Tiande from time to time, and saw that the other party was only staring at Shi Dayong, so he couldn't help pouting and swallowed back what he wanted to say.
The subordinates were furious, and unanimously disagreed to move to Pingdugou, and even refused to give him a bird feather in Beijing.
However, Shi Dayong reversed his previous attitude of not taking Gao Qiqian in his eyes, and instead instructed Jiang Wanli: "Send the order down, immediately pack up your things, carry the corpses of the brothers killed in the war into the carriage, and let's go to Pingdugou." ”
He also instructed Cao Bianjiao: "You can get as many war horses as you can, and don't care about the rest." ”
"General?!"
The generals were stunned, Shi Dayong dared to kill Gao Qiqian for military merits, and he didn't care about the consequences at all, but now he was ridden by Gao Qiqian again, and he swallowed this evil breath, and the changes before and after made the generals a little surprised. They thought that Shi Dayong would definitely lead them and Gao Qiqian to fight to the death!
Seeing that the generals were unwilling, Shi Dayong was not reconciled, but he had to calm down, sighed, and said to the generals: "The situation is stronger than people, let's swallow this breath first, and we can always settle accounts with him in the future." ”
"Don't want that stuff?" Li Dashan was a little unwilling, but the rebels had left a lot of good things down, and they had to pull out the camp and transport the corpses, how could they still have time to clean up the battlefield.
Shi Dayong knew that Li Dashan was talking about those firearms and weapons, and ordered: "Pick up some good ones and take them away, and leave the rest for them." ”
After speaking, he waved his hand and asked the generals to prepare immediately. Seeing this, the generals knew that the matter was a foregone conclusion, and this Pingdugou had to go, so in desperation, they had to prepare.
When the soldiers heard that they were going to leave here and set up camp in Pingdugou, five miles away, they were all angry and angry. But when they saw Shi Dayong taking the lead in carrying the corpses of the dead soldiers, they all fell silent.
Half an hour later, the eunuch who had given the order came again, but this time not alone, but with a team of horses from two hundred ancestors. Seeing that the Jinzhou army was ready to leave, the eunuch was a little surprised, but he didn't say anything.
The wagons of the baggage battalion came out with a few cars, but they were still unable to carry all the corpses, so they gathered the war horses and transported them to Pingdugou with horses, and then tried to find some carriages to transport them back to Changping and Jinzhou.
The Jinzhou army was divided into two teams, one in the front and one in the rear, and the captured soldiers and Wang and Qi were in the middle, all the way to Pingdugou
After moving to Pingdugou, the Jinzhou army became an abandoned army - no one ever questioned them again.
I don't know what Lu Dao is for, Gao Qiqian did not lead Jingying and Jin Guoqi to Laizhou, but stayed in Xiaoguantun and did not move.
One day, two days, three days and seven days passed, and Gao Qiqian still did not have the slightest intention of going to rescue Laizhou.
This makes Shi Dayong very strange, Li Jiucheng's rebels fought in Xiaoguantun, the main force of Dongjiang Liao soldiers and horse teams suffered heavy losses, and most of the rest were rabble, although there were many artillery, but there were 3,000 cavalry of Zu Dabi, 2,000 soldiers from Jizhen, and 4,000 soldiers from Beijing, the strength was not lower than Li Jiucheng, and there were defenders in Laizhou City with cooperation, which could reach the city and annihilate the rebels in one fell swoop.
Now he is so without a fight or retreat, guarding Xiaoguantun empty, watching the rebels attack Laizhou more than 20 miles away, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd! What the hell was he waiting for! Is he worthy of the Son of Heaven for doing this? He is cowardly and incompetent!
Shi Dayong was very angry, but there was no way to take the high dive. He himself is also unable to go to Laizhou alone, he now has a total of 1,000 people on hand, most of them are still captive soldiers, Xiaoguantun battle, the gunpowder is almost exhausted, and the wolf cavalry and light cavalry have also lost more than half, even if he has the heart to help, it is difficult to fight.
On the third day of December, news came that the general soldiers Deng Yu and Wang Hong had led 10,000 Sichuan soldiers from Changyi to come to the aid and joined forces with Gao Qiqian to join forces with Xiaoguantun, but after getting these 10,000 Sichuan soldiers, Gao Qiqian still did not move!
After the First Battle of Xiaoguantun, there was no official document from Shandong, and I don't know whether Gao Qiqian cut off the Shandong official document, or whether Zhu Dadian, the governor of Shandong, could not remember that there was an army under his command that had traveled thousands of miles from Liaodong to quell the rebellion.
There are no official documents, no Tang newspapers, no military information, nothing.
Pingdugou is like being isolated from the world, not knowing anything outside the world, and not knowing anything else outside the world.
The feeling of being forgotten is as if the Jinzhou Army has been completely wiped out and no longer exists in this world.
The grain and grass obtained from Shahe can last for half a month, and if there is still no grain and grass after half a month, then the Jinzhou army will run out of food.
The people sent to Xiaoguantun to ask for food went twice, but both times they were closed, and they couldn't see Gao Qiqian at all.
went to Jin Guoqi, but the other party said that he couldn't be the master, and without the order of Gao Gonggong, he didn't dare to allocate a grain of grain. The last time Jiang Wanli went, this time Jin Guoqi was received by Le Guochen, although Le Guochen did not refuse directly like Jin Guoqi, but euphemistically said that they did not have any extra food and grass. After going south from Jizhen, the grain and grass they brought with them had long been eaten, and now they all rely on Gao Gonggong to allocate grain and grass from the prefectures and counties of Beizhili, and the supply is only three days each time. If it is given to the Jinzhou army, they will go hungry.
