Chapter 243: Killing King Kang with one shot
I don't know where I heard Ding Taiyang's words, Gong Jichang himself couldn't figure out what happened that night in the Dune Palace, how could he be embarrassed?
Gong Jichang has never had a good impression of those generals of the Blue Wolf Army who betray their masters for glory, except for Hei Dashuai, Wei Chaohui and others, after all, they have taken refuge in their own command.
"Brother, I seem to have fought with you a few times in Jiangzuo County, why did I vote for General Yin Zongtang's subordinates?" Gong Jichang avoided answering Ding Taiyang's ridicule.
"It's all in the past, don't mention it." Ding Sun stopped and said, maybe Gong Jichang's words stabbed his self-esteem.
"I want to know very well why you've defected." Gong Jichang didn't plan to let Ding Sun go.
"The Blue Wolf Country stipulates that people have no selfish property, everything belongs to the public, everyone must hand over all their property to the holy treasury, and all the necessities of life are spent by the holy treasury. It also stipulates that there is land and ploughing, food and food, clothing and clothing, money and so on...... The high-level leaders of the Blue Wolf Country who formulated the rules did not lead by example, they lived a corrupt life, had a group of wives and concubines, and were not subject to the system at all...... Follow them, there is no ......," Ding Sun said.
"I finally understood what 'people die for money, and birds die for food'." Gong Jichang said with a smile, "You just joined the Qinghe Army for money." ”
Ding Sunyang's face was pale: "It's not all." The wolf country's set doesn't work, they're a bunch of demons. ”
"Oh. Where's my brother? What is the position? ”
"Nanyue Chaoshan, garrison title."
"Why did you join the Blue Wolf Army in the first place?"
"Momentarily confused."
"Does Wang Haiyang, the puppet king of Kang, have a relationship with you?"
"General, take a step to speak." Ding Sun pulled Gong Jichang's sleeve and walked to a secluded place.
"Brother, why sneak around?" Gong Jichang was puzzled.
"I am the general of the Blue Wolf Army, and I also have a knighthood, and I am the old department of the king Li Shixian. The king was defeated in Zhangzhou, and in order to save my life, I surrendered. Originally, he planned to go back to Wang Haiyang again, but he killed the king, there was no need. Ding Taiyang finally told the truth.
"So, you stayed in the Qinghe Army to avenge Li Shixian?" Gong Jichang asked. He wanted to test whether this rebel general was truly obedient to the court.
"Half for profit, half for righteousness." Ding Sun said.
"Then I'm going to kill Wang Haiyang, brother, do you have a plan?" Gong Jichang asked.
"Brother, you have been fighting with Wang Haiyang in Shiling for a few months, and you haven't seen his true face?" Ding Sun couldn't help but be stunned.
"I'm only going to attack the tulou, how can I have time to identify him?" Gong Jichang said with a smile.
"Let's talk about it then, there are still internal responses in the Blue Wolf Army." Ding Taiyang was reluctant to disclose Wang Haiyang's relevant information to Gong Jichang.
Because Gong Jichang is the general of Xi Qitian of Jiangzuo County, and has no affiliation with Yin Zongtang, Ding Taiyang can't trust him, and he can't give up his military exploits to Gong Jichang, who is already a commander.
After Gong Jichang left, Ding Taiyang immediately offered advice to Yin Zongtang and said: "Wang thief must take the lead in every battle, it is advisable to use a musket, depending on Kou Shuai's dragon banner to hit him, but if he hurts his chieftain, the enemy will be broken." ”
"Good." General Yin Zongtang nodded, gladly accepted this suggestion, he thought for a long time before deciding to hand over this arduous task of killing Wang Haiyang to Gong Jichang's musket team to carry out.
Therefore, Yin Zongtang had already made a careful plan and decided to send two troops as bait to paralyze Wang Haiyang and make him get carried away, and then wait for an opportunity to shoot and kill him in front of the battle.
After receiving this task, Gong Jichang and Rong Weishan were too excited, and they stayed awake all night, drinking until dawn, and then fell asleep grogily.
At the end of November, because King Kang Wang Haiyang "guessed ruthlessly and cruelly", he successively falsely killed King Ji Huang Jinai, King Li Shixian and others, but everyone did not know that King Huang Penghou (also known as Huang Shixi) lost confidence in the future and had the idea of surrendering to the imperial court.
Huang Penghou secretly sent people to Jingnan County in Longnan, Jiangzuo County to ask for surrender, Xi Qitian thought twice and accepted Huang Penghou's "abandonment of darkness and surrender to light".
So, Xi Qitian ordered Huang Penghou to stay in Wang Haiyang's troops, be an undercover agent, and control Wang Haiyang's military secrets at any time. As long as Wang Haiyang has a major move, he will immediately pass on the information, but Wang Haiyang has been kept in the dark.
On December 12, King Kang Wang Haiyang decided to break the cauldron and rush out of the city to fight to the death with the besieging Jingnan army. After careful preparations, Wang Haiyang planned to lead the elite 30,000 of the Blue Wolf Army out of Fozigao and Huang Zhuyang to storm the Qinghe Army in Taziao; Divide the troops to sneak to the deep pit, Kwailing and other places to copy the enemy's rear road; Another team was sent to attack from the flank of Huangkeng to contain the enemy in Bingcun and Jingtang.
Wang Haiyang's idea is good, but people are not as good as heaven, and no matter how careful the plan is, it is not as bad as a few traitors.
Feng Wang Huang Penghou, who participated in the formulation of the battle plan, did not do anything, and secretly reported Wang Haiyang's formation and city defense to Yin Zongtang, and told Yin Zongtang that Wang Haiyang rushed to be the first every time he went to battle, and made a detailed report on his appearance and clothing.
Therefore, as soon as the battle began, Liu Dian and Wang Debang, the main forces of the Jingnan Army, resisted desperately, pretended to be defeated and retreated, and were chased and beaten by Wang Haiyang's elite, and the situation was "very good".
In order to boost morale, Wang Haiyang, the king of Kang, who did not know that the catastrophe was coming, led his troops to take advantage of the victory and fought with Gao Liansheng, Huang Shaochun, Kang Guoqi and other coalition forces in the area of Taziao, Zhihuding, Fozigao, and Shuangbanqiao. Both sides invested more than 20,000 troops, and tens of thousands of people fought together, neighing and screaming, swords and guns.
For a time, the mountains and fields were full of flags and banners, the sound of killing was everywhere, the artillery fire was continuous, the bloody corpses were lying horizontally, the traces were full of paths, and the water was also red. The battle was very fierce and tragic, and this was the largest decisive battle between the remnants of the Blue Wolf Army and the Jingnan Army after entering Guangdong.
King Kang Wang Haiyang fought bravely, carrying a scimitar, charging with flying horses, and supervising the battle in front of the battle. Ding Yangyang, the general of the Blue Wolf Army, saw King Kang rushing to the front of the battle, and immediately told Gong Jichang: "Those five short figures, fierce faces, and strong and fierce people are Wang Haiyang!" ”
After speaking, Ding Sun hid behind the team. He didn't want to see the tragic scene of his former comrades being shot in the head.
"Well, that's great!"
Gong Jichang immediately concentrated his firepower and used dozens of rounds to attack Wang Haiyang and others who rushed up.
Gong Jichang also took out a revolver and aimed at Wang Haiyang to shoot, and the exposed Wang Haiyang was hit by more than a dozen bullets, especially the flowering bullet shot by Gong Jichang, which pierced between his eyebrows from the left side of his head.
Wang Haiyang immediately fell from his horse, and his subordinates hurriedly wrapped Wang Haiyang's body with a big flag, carried him away and withdrew. The blue wolf army lost its commander in front of the formation, the army was unstable, the formation was in chaos, there were countless casualties, and the blue wolf army suffered heavy losses and retreated back to the state city.
After the battle, the Blue Wolf Army lost countless casualties, and the Jingnan Army threw the corpses of the Blue Wolf Army killed in the battle into the river, a total of no less than 3,000 bodies, and went down the river for five days, which has not yet been exhausted.
That night, King Kang Wang Haiyang died in the state city due to his injuries and ineffective medical treatment, at the age of 36. After the death, the four doors of the funeral were buried outside Jiaying City.
Since then, Wang Haiyang has been martyred, and no one can provoke the beam, and the defeat of the blue wolf army is a foregone conclusion. Yu Bugong recommended Tan Tiyuan, the king of Kai, as the leader and held Jiaying City.
On December 17, Bao Chao arrived, and Yin Zongtang moved to Songkou.
On December 19, the army of Xi Qitian of Jiangzuo County arrived and stationed in the northwest of Jiaying Prefecture with Bao Chao's department.
December 22, late at night.
Tan Tiyuan, the new commander of the Blue Wolf Army, ordered the southwest gate to be opened, all the soldiers quietly withdrew from Jiaying Prefecture, and Hu Yongxiang led the main vanguard to go first.
Tan Tiyuan personally led the elite soldiers to the palace, and suddenly attacked Bao Chao in the north of the city, pretending to break through, and launched a fierce battle with the Qinghe army, repelling the Qinghe army, and winning enough time for the large army to break through as a cover.
Most of the Blue Wolf Army then took advantage of the victory and went out of the diving division and walked southeast to the Yellow Sand Ridge. However, due to the betrayal of the traitor Feng Wang Huang Penghou again, the Qinghe army learned of the specific route of the blue wolf army's breakthrough, set up a heavy ambush on the breakthrough road in advance, and sent troops to chase and kill, driving the blue wolf army into the pocket, and then choking the pocket, annihilating in one fell swoop.
The mountains of Huangsha Ridge are rugged, the peaks are steep, a path lingers, it is impossible to march normally, the mountains are dense, the large army of the blue wolf army is lost in the mountains, and cannot go out for several days, and the soldiers are hungry and tired. Tan Tiyuan and his subordinates were quickly caught up by the chasing Qinghe army and were forced into a desperate situation.
The Qinghe army that had been ambushed in front of it was killed from all sides, and Tan Tiyuan, who was unwilling to fail, personally led the army to break through and fought a bloody battle with the Qinghe army on the side of the deep valley. In the fierce battle, some people in the Qinghe Army and the Blue Wolf Army constantly fell into the deep stream and fell into a blur of flesh and blood.
As a result, the encircled blue wolf army retreated in defeat one after another, and more than 40,000 people surrendered on the spot.
Tan Tiyuan experienced several fierce battles, his physical strength was exhausted, and he suddenly fell into the deep stream without paying attention, but fortunately, there were many corpses underneath, and he fainted, and it didn't take long for him to wake up. A man climbed in the direction of the bottom of the mountain, and finally climbed to the side of the road. But he didn't eat for a few days, and he was starving and dying on the road. In the end, he was captured by the soldiers of the Jingyi Battalion who passed by, and was subsequently killed at Songkou Fort in Jiaying Prefecture.
At this time, He Mingliang, the king of Dongping, who was lucky enough to break through, continued to lead the rest of his troops to resist, but in the end, due to the disparity in strength, he ran out of ammunition and food, so he had to surrender. However, Yin Zongtang did not let go of the core members, and about 730 high-ranking civil and military officials were beheaded in front of the battle, including He Mingliang, Huang Xiaozi, etc.
At this point, the Blue Wolf Army of Southern Guangdong was almost wiped out, and it no longer became the climate, and it was also announced that the Blue Wolf Country was destroyed by this country, and there was no possibility of recovery.
After breaking through from Jiaying Prefecture, Huang Penghou ordered his subordinates to abandon their weapons and surrender, while he hid in a cave. Two days later, he surrendered to the camp of the Qinghe Army.
The generals of the Qinghe Army thought that Huang Penghou was in a high position in the Blue Wolf Country, and they had killed many soldiers and generals of the Qinghe Army, and they all wanted to kill him to relieve the hatred in their hearts.
Yin Zongtang, who was not keen on surrendering, cherished his martial arts and bravery, and submitted to the court "Please exempt Huang Penghou from the crime of returning to the truth to the garrison title", suggesting that "exempt from crime and reward the garrison title", which was approved by the imperial court, and Huang Penghou was transformed from the king of the blue wolf country and the commander of the south into a change, and became the five-grade garrison of the Qing and Qing Dynasty.
After the end of the First World War in Jiaying Prefecture, Yin Zongtang ordered hundreds of prisoners to be killed in front of the battle, which made Gong Jichang, who had always treated prisoners preferentially, very dissatisfied. For this reason, he decided to go to Yin Zongtang's camp and fight him once.
Rong Weishan grabbed Gong Jichang: "Big brother, don't make trouble, okay?" ”
