Chapter 319: Mutiny

"General, as soon as I entered our army's camp, I heard the soldiers of my left battalion complaining there that General Wu almost beheaded the general."

"It is also said that this time the Qing army was defeated, and the army blamed the soldiers of the left battalion."

When Liu Bao heard this, his face instantly turned red.

"It's nonsense, it's the poor command of the surnamed Wu. The thief's weapon was so sharp, I told him long ago, and he did not listen to my advice, which led to such a miserable defeat."

General Li shook his head when he heard this.

"General, now the whole army will blame the defeat on our left battalion soldiers."

"How aggrieved my left battalion soldiers are."

"General Wu will behead the general this morning, if it weren't for General Wang's intercession, the general would have already been a dead soul under the knife." Li Xian said.

Hearing this, Liu Bao sighed without a sigh.

It is indeed that he is too light on the enemy, and he almost destroyed the left battalion, and now there are less than 100 soldiers left in the left battalion, and he is still affected by himself.

"You better leave quickly, I haven't seen you at all, and General Wu will lead the army back to Danzhou tomorrow." Liu Bao waved his hand and motioned for General Li to leave quickly.

Li Xi didn't leave, but said softly: "General Wu is about to withdraw to Danzhou, don't you want Changhua City?"

"The general army is still discussing with General Wang and other generals tonight, I'm afraid there will be no surprise, and the army will be withdrawn tomorrow morning." Liu Bao nodded.

Li Shi's face suddenly became ugly, and he couldn't help but shout angrily when he looked at Liu Bao, who was still unaware.

"General Liu, are you still in the dark? This General Wu consulted with other generals but only excluded you, making it clear that he wanted to put the blame for the defeat on you."

Suddenly, Liu Bao sat up suddenly. His face turned pale, and his alcohol was instantly gone.

"This?"

"Doesn't the general understand? After this defeat, the army withdrew to Danzhou, and if the court blames it, the lord will be the scapegoat." General Li looked at Liu Bao and said bitterly.

When Liu Bao heard this, his hair stood on end in an instant.

Yes, this time the imperial court conquered Changhua, and the army was unfavorable, and suffered a crushing defeat under the city and was forced to withdraw to Danzhou.

The prefect must report to Liangguang, and the general of Liangguang will report to the Beijing Division, and then the Beijing Division will be furious and blamed.

Who should be the one who lost his head?

Liu Bao only felt a chill around his neck.

"General Li, please save me." Liu Bao pounced and knelt directly in front of Li Shi.

He knew that if the army's expedition to Changhua was unfavorable this time and he really withdrew to Qiongfu, the scapegoat must be himself.

"Now there is only one way for the general to go, and that is to surrender to the Ming Dynasty." Li Xi said in a deep voice.

"Don't hide it from the general, the Ming court has already established itself in Luzon, and more than 200 soldiers in my left battalion are all in Changhua City at this moment."

"General Wang has promised the last general, and when the battle is over, the soldiers of my left battalion can go to Luzon and garrison Luzon." Li Shi said.

When he heard that more than 200 soldiers of the Zuo Battalion had survived, Liu Bao couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

can make Liu Bao surrender, but it makes him a little difficult.

"General, if I surrender, then I can only flee to Luzon and other South Seas in this life, how can I live in peace?" Liu Bao smiled bitterly.

Hearing this, Li Shi laughed out loud.

"General, why should I flee to Luzon?"

"Glory and wealth are just around the corner, why don't you fight hard?" Li Shi held Liu Bao's hand and said hurriedly.

"What do you say?"

"The soldiers guarding the camp tonight are all officers and soldiers of my left battalion." Li Xian said.

"Not bad."

"The officers and men of the middle and right battalions have been battling the city one after another today, and they are already sleepy and tired, so the officers and men of my left battalion are responsible for guarding the camp tonight."

"Okay, well, the general might as well open the camp gate and let the Ming army enter the camp to attack the Qing army at night." Li Xian said.

"This?" Liu Bao's face couldn't help but change greatly when he heard this, and the army was already exhausted after a day of bloody fighting.

It is precisely because of this that they have not participated in the war

The officers and men of the left battalion took up the job of guarding the battalion.

If you let the soldiers of the left battalion let the Ming army into the camp, wouldn't it be ......

"General, your chance is tonight."

"If the general doesn't let the Ming army enter the camp tonight and attack the Qing army at night, when the Qing army returns to Danzhou tomorrow, it will really be powerless."

Seeing that Liu Bao was still unmoved, Li Xi continued.

"General Wu is going to cut off the general's head this morning, if General Wu leads the army back to Qiongfu tomorrow, does the general think that his life can be saved?"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Bao finally relented and threw the long knife on the ground.

"That's it, General Li, I'll listen to you tonight."

In the middle of the night, a fierce quarrel had just taken place in the main army camp.

Wu Qibing and Wang Rui insisted that they would drive the army back to the division tomorrow.

But several lieutenants refused.

There is no other reason, more than half of the grain and grass have already been consumed in the opening of more than ten days, if you return to the division this time, I am afraid that the grain and grass will be exhausted on the way, and you will have to be trapped in Danzhou. 藲礿尛裞網

At that time, there is no food and grass, and morale is scarce, how can they stop the thief army?

This immediately put Mr. Wu in a dilemma.

Until late at night, Wu Qijue still did not take off his armor and fell asleep.

At the end of the day, the Qing army paid the price of human death.

However, the army did not even attack the Changhua city wall, which couldn't help but make Wu Qijue indignant.

Just as he was melancholy in the tent, a burst of fire suddenly burst from outside the tent.

Immediately after, a fighting sound quietly sounded.

"What's going on?" Wu Qijue was shocked and hurriedly picked up the waist knife.

"General, it's no good, the thieves are attacking the camp at night." Several Qing soldiers hurriedly ran into the tent in a panic.

"Panic what? Where is Liu Bao? Let him lead his army to repel the thieves at once." Wu Qijue shouted.

"General, I'll wait, I only heard the sound of shouting and killing in the left camp, and then the middle camp was on fire, and now the thief army has killed the middle camp." A Qing soldier shouted.

"What?" Wu Qijue was suddenly struck by lightning.

"Immediately go and inform Wang Rui of the right camp and let him lead the troops here." Wu Qijue is also worthy of being a strong general, and in this case, he did not make a mess, but immediately ordered the Qing troops to let Wang Rui of the right battalion lead the army to come to help.

At this moment, in the camp of the Chinese army, Liu Bao secretly let the Ming army enter the camp.

Hundreds of Ming officers and soldiers entered the camp of the Chinese army, and the shouts of killing shook the sky for a while.

Many Qing soldiers were still asleep when they heard shouts of killing, and when they opened their eyes, they saw that there were fires all around.

One by one, the fire mines were ignited by the Ming soldiers and thrown into the tents of the Qing army.

Before many Qing officers and soldiers could react, they were killed in the tents by fire and thunder.

"Brothers, kill." At the forefront were the soldiers of the brave left town.

Hundreds of brave and combative soldiers entered a no-man's land, killing the Qing officers and soldiers of the middle battalion, and they were defeated.

Several lieutenant generals of the middle battalion hurriedly organized more than 200 Qing officers and soldiers to resist.

But in a hurry, he was soon killed by the soldiers and fled in defeat.

His soldiers fought in Luzon all year round.

Where can these Qing garrisons on Qiong Island compare.

Soon, they were killed in front of the Chinese army camp.

At this time, the Qing army was already in chaos.

Wang Ruibu of the right battalion was also attacked by the elite Ming army of the Marine Battalion.

Outside the camp, several Franc cannons roared continuously.

The officers and men of the Marine Battalion armed with long knives and short crossbows fought with the officers and soldiers of the right battalion of the Qing army in the large camp.

Wang Rui's right battalion fought from early morning to afternoon, and it was already exhausted, where can it be compared to the elite Ming army that is well-nourished in land warfare.

Soon, the officers and soldiers of the right battalion were defeated and more than 100 people were beheaded by the Ming army.

Only Wang Rui fled to the Chinese army camp with dozens of personal soldiers.

At this time, the Chinese army camp was already in a sea of fire.

Wu Qijue, who knew that the general situation was gone, had to lead his own soldiers to escape from the camp overnight, and on the way to make peace with Wang Rui, the two troops together were only more than 100 Qing troops fled north.

In this night battle, the Ming army won a complete victory, and at the cost of less than 100 casualties, more than 200 Qing troops were beheaded and more than 700 Qing troops were captured.

Dozens of stones of grain and grass and thousands of pieces of weapons were seized.
