Chapter 53
Zhu Wanliang is now beating a drum in his heart, if he lets Yuan Yingtai know that he will not be saved if he sees death. The consequences can be dire! Especially in the Zhejiang soldiers, there is also his eldest son, Zhu Wanliang knows that Yuan Yingtai values this eldest son very much. And this eldest prince is also angry, and he will go to the capital next year to catch the exam. If it is really folded here, it is difficult for the master to guarantee that he will not be angry with himself.
After thinking about it and thinking about it, when I saw Jiang Bi sitting next to him, I suddenly had an idea in my heart.
"Brother Jiang, the Zhejiang soldiers and our Liao army belong to the robe. Seeing that they are surrounded on the south bank of the Hunhe River, it is a little unreasonable for us not to go to the rescue. Besides, the eldest prince is also inside, if the eldest prince has any mistakes, the master will blame ......!
Now Brother Jiang took 2,000 men and horses to meet the Zhejiang soldiers. How about holding the camp here for my brother? Zhu Wanliang made up his mind and sent these people away. Prepare the fastest horse yourself, and if the situation is not right, it will be fine.
Then the white-pole soldiers who can fight are all disabled, and they are the strongest soldiers in the southwest. The Zhejiang soldiers, known as the Qi Army, swept through the southeast and fought the. These two armies are not successful, can you do these goods under your own hands?
Zhu Wanliang is very confident in his subordinates. When encountering Tartar soldiers, I am afraid that the enemy will be scattered in a single charge. can fight some, only Jiang Bi with those 2,000 people. Jiang Bi was sent this time, and the credit for rescuing people was his own command. can't save people, the basin can be buckled on Jiang Bi's head.
"Since the chief soldier has been sent, the subordinate will naturally receive the order!" Jiang Bi did not hesitate, arched his hand at Zhu Wanliang and walked out.
"Let's go back to Liaoyang?" When he went out, Ao Canghai pulled Li Xiao and left.
"That's not good......! General Qi is not out of danger yet! Li Xiao thought that Ao Canghai was going to run away, so it was a bit too unruly to talk about hooliganism.
"What do you want? What can Jiang Bi's 2,000 people do, you also saw it yesterday. There are tens of thousands of Tartar soldiers, and if Zhu Wanliang's whole army responds, he may still be saved. Damn, this old boy will run away when he sees the shadow of the Tartar soldiers. If you don't believe it, go to his back camp and take a look, his guards must be preparing fast horses.
Bah......! Ao Canghai "spit" at the big tent and turned over on his horse.
"Go back and ask Lord Jinglu, maybe there will be salvation. The eldest prince is still in the army! Ao Canghai squeezed his eyes at Li Xiao, he was very satisfied with what Li Xiao had just said. Yuan An's death is now inconvenient for anyone to know.
Li Xiao saw that Ao Canghai had a horse, and he went up himself. The barracks are in chaos right now, and there are soldiers running around everywhere. The voice of the whole team in Jiang Bi's camp can be heard clearly from afar.
The two of them ran wildly all the way, and the war horses were so tired that they were about to spit foam, and they only saw Liaoyang City at noon.
Holding Qi Jin's distress letter in his hand, the porter didn't dare to ask for silver. reported it as quickly as possible, and soon Yuan Yingtai met with Ao Canghai and Li Xiao.
"How's it going before the army?" Yuan Yingtai asked eagerly. From yesterday to now, eight waves of scouts have been dispatched. There was no wave back, but many refugees poured into Liaoyang City. The news brought was very bad, and the city of Shenyang did not survive until the moment the reinforcements arrived.
The fall of Shenyang has already made Yuan Yingtai anxious like an ant on a hot pot. But the white pole soldiers who rescued Shenyang also lost contact with the Qi family's army, and Zhu Wanliang's return was blocked by a large number of Tartar soldiers and was looking for an opportunity to retreat. If it weren't for Yuan Yingtai's strict order, I'm afraid Zhu Wanliang would have returned to Liaoyang City by now.
Yuan Yingtai checked the fire paint and opened Qi Jin's handbook to read. Fortunately, Qi Jin's letter is an official document. It's inconvenient to mention Yuan An's matter, otherwise Li Xiao and Ao Canghai's calculations will be exposed.
"Lord Jingluo, the remnants of the Zhejiang soldiers and the white pole soldiers were besieged by the Tartars on the south bank of the Hunhe River. The eldest prince is in danger, please send reinforcements as soon as possible. It's late! I'm afraid that the whole army will be destroyed! Ao Canghai and Li Xiao knelt on the ground, this is the last chance if there is a strict order from Yuan Yingtai. borrowed Zhu Wanliang's eight courages, and he didn't dare to be perfunctory. The whole army will definitely attack and take the Qi family's army back to Liaoyang.
"How am I?" Yuan Yingtai saw that Yuan Ang asked eagerly. Now he regretted his decision to let Yuan Ang go to Shenyang, thinking that Shenyang would be heavily guarded. It's not that you can't hold on for a day, but He Shixian, that bastard, really hasn't lasted a day. Now that the virtuous name has not been earned, the son is about to get in.
"The eldest prince is still in the army, and General Qi takes good care of the eldest prince. Except for a few fright, it's fine! Li Xiao stubbornly said nonsense.
"Hmm!" Yuan Yingtai groaned slightly.
"You go down to rest first, and this official will send someone to inform General Zhu." Yuan Yingtai waved his hand, signaling that Li Xiao and Ao Canghai could retreat.
"My lord, the military situation ahead is urgent. The villain is familiar with the situation ahead, and asks the adult to give the order to send troops quickly. Ao Canghai knelt on the ground and said eagerly. Now for every quarter of an hour's delay, someone dies. is in Liaoyang, but it seems that I can always hear the sound of tearing and killing on the bank of the Hunhe River.
"Can you still do it?" Yuan Yingtai glanced at Ao Canghai appreciatively.
"As long as you change the villain to a fast horse, you will definitely complete the military order."
"Okay, prepare two fast horses for the two of them. You hold the old man's token, and Zhu Wanliang will take the Zhejiang soldiers back to Liaoyang no matter what. If there is a mistake, come to see you. After Yuan Yingtai finished speaking, he took out the token from the case. In order to be safe, he also wrote a handwritten letter and handed it to Ao Canghai.
Ao Canghai Li Xiaole's snot was bubbling, and he immediately rode two fast horses.
"Boy, Lao Ao will go alone. Da Jin and Xiao Dunzi are both Lao Ao's brothers, you go home. This dog's way of the world, help me take good care of Sister Qiao'er. She's a good woman! ”
"What nonsense, confess your last words! Save it, I don't believe that our brothers will fold. ”
"Damn, I'm afraid I'm older than your father. Who's with you as a buddy! Ao Canghai laughed and scolded, and the two of them galloped out of Liaoyang City one after the other.
Li Xiao glanced back at Liaoyang City, if he had left earlier, maybe there would not have been so much trouble. But the battle of the Hunhe River in history took place in March, and now it's only the end of December. Nurhachi's old bastard doesn't play according to the routine! Originally, there were two months to use, but now the "whoosh" is gone. The year doesn't make people have a good time!
The two men beat their horses and whips and galloped forward, thinking in their hearts what kind of tearing and killing might be on the banks of the Hunhe River now. As soon as he ran out for more than 50 miles, he saw a constant stream of fleeing civilians and routs running in all directions.
Li Xiao and Ao Canghai had an ominous premonition in their hearts, and galloped out for more than twenty miles. I actually saw a neatly organized Ming army, marching quickly along the official road. Looking at the banner, it is Zhu Wanliang's command.
This bastard has escaped back!
