Chapter 172: Burning the Company Camp
Vice General Zhang, who took the lead in the charge, was very excited, and it seemed to be different from before.
And this difference all comes from the fact that Hu Yongzhi concentrated all the hand cannons and gave a river-crossing army led by Sun Wenting himself to bomb indiscriminately.
Although Sun Wenting was only injured by a shell and was fine, he also lost the ability to command the front battle.
At this time, Deputy General Zhang chased all the way with 70,000 elite soldiers, just to capture Hu Yongzhi directly.
Originally, Hu Yongzhi didn't want to directly concentrate all the hand cannons and only attack a little.
But he could see where his handsomeness was, and immediately thought that if he wanted to let the other party chase after him, he would have to beat the other party up.
Only then was the order was given, and all the hand cannons were concentrated, and a fireworks feast came.
Originally, there were more than 2,000 people, and with 4,000 horses, they were very wealthy, and they waited for work at ease, and they ran extremely fast.
It's just that I was afraid that the pursuers behind me wouldn't be able to catch up, so I started to fight and flee again.
Deputy General Zhang, who has always liked to take the lead in the charge, has lost his mind by this style of play, and he can't wait to kill all the more than 2,000 people who fled in front.
"You thieves really can't catch you, I want to see where you can escape today?"
Vice General Zhang shouted loudly, and immediately arranged for the people below to surround Hu Yong's troops.
And this kind of encirclement is the cooperation of 70,000 people, and under this operation, more than 70,000 people are like tigers descending from the mountain, and they are divided into several roads and begin to encircle the 2,000 people who have escaped.
Hu Yongzhi, who fled, had already run out of hundreds of miles with more than 70,000 people, and saw that there were only fifty miles left to reach the mountains surrounded by mountains on three sides.
At this time, the pursuers behind him seemed to have lost the momentum they had at the beginning, and they didn't seem to want to chase anymore.
"It seems that the army recruited by Sun Wenting is getting worse and worse, and there is no momentum when chasing out a hundred miles, how can such a quality quell the chaos!"
Hu Yongzhi couldn't help but sigh with emotion, as if he was being chased as if it was not himself.
After hearing this, the adjutant general on the side was also a little puzzled.
"Master Hu, these people are not of high quality, which is a good thing for us, why are you so emotional?"
The adjutant general asked with a puzzled expression.
"Sun Wenting is a person who worries about the country and the people, although it is now a world of great contention, and the situation in the current dynasty is chaotic, and he should choose a good lord to share it, but he still blindly protects the Ming Dynasty, which is respectable."
Hu Yong's face was solemn, and he didn't seem to have any hatred for Sun Wenting, who attacked him, but admired him very much.
"I see, my lord, although this person is stupid and loyal, what he has done is really admirable, so what should we do now?"
The deputy general looked at Hu Yongzhi blankly, as if he didn't know what to do next.
After all, if the enemy general praises the enemy generals so much, if he really fights hard, he is afraid that he will offend the main general.
Hearing this, Hu Yongzhi put away his emotion, and couldn't help frowning, it seemed that the deputy general's words made him very displeased.
"What can you do? Of course, it is to harass with the advantage of cavalry and firecrackers, remember not to go deeper, just let them not stop. ”
Hu Yong's face was ruthless, and he seemed to have lost the emotional expression just now, as if he wanted to play the other party to death.
The deputy general who came here was blind, and he couldn't guess what Hu Yongzhi was thinking at this time.
"Master Hu, didn't you just say that you admired the other party's personality? As for doing so? ”
The adjutant general asked with a puzzled expression.
"Of course, if they don't get tired, won't they let our people bleed and cut off their heads?"
Hu Yongyi changed his ruthlessness just now, and then smiled indifferently.
After hearing this, the adjutant general immediately arranged for the 2,000 men to be divided into ten squads to harass the army of 70,000 indiscriminately.
And under such harassment, it also made Vice General Zhang, who had lost his temper, angry again.
But this time, he endured it first.
"I didn't expect Li Yue's subordinates to be the same as him, they are all some thief embryos, and there is no good thing."
Vice General Zhang scolded and turned to leave, and went directly to the camp where Sun Wenting was.
At this moment, Sun Wenting was wrapped in a white cloth on his head, and it looked as if he had been hit by a stray bullet in the head, but his spirit was very good, and he didn't seem to be affected by the injury.
"Who told you to go within a hundred miles of your own initiative?"
Sun Wenting said angrily.
Hearing this, Vice General Zhang was stunned.
Originally, I thought that I would be commended, after all, after crossing the river, I had already surrendered more than a hundred miles, such a record should be considered good, even if I was not rewarded, I could not be reprimanded like this.
"My lord, you were injured by a stray bullet, I must let these people pay for their blood debts, and now our army has entered the territory of Huangzhou Mansion, and Huangzhou City is not far ahead."
Vice General Zhang said with an aggrieved face.
"Yes, I know that 50 miles ahead is Huangzhou City, take it, and the entire Huangzhou is in the hands of the old man, but have you thought about it, we are alone."
Sun Wenting said with a solemn sigh.
Hearing this, Vice General Zhang was taken aback, and he never thought that he would march after crossing the river, and quickly and directly penetrated into Baili.
What they didn't expect was that they were just alone, and there were no reinforcements.
"My lord, the last general has never thought about this, so if it is according to what the lord said, we should evacuate as soon as possible at this time, and we should not be in a war."
Vice General Zhang said with a look of astonishment.
"That's it, if we go back now, then they will swarm and chase after us, and then there will be no retreat, no way to advance, no rest!"
Sun Wenting frowned, as if he was thinking about how to break the situation in front of him.
Vice General Zhang, who was standing on the side, was even more iron-pale, and seemed to regret his reckless behavior.
But just as the two were silent, a noisy voice came from outside the tent.
"Bang...... Bang......"
The sound of artillery and gunfire resounded throughout the barracks, which made Sun Wenting, who was still a little headache, even more serious.
Just wanted to stand up, but he sat down again dizzily, and Deputy General Zhang next to him also hurriedly stepped forward to help.
"My lord, you must pay attention to your body, you can't work too hard now, and leave the rest to me!"
Vice Admiral Zhang said with a worried face.
"They don't want us to stop, I listen to the sound of guns, it's very sparse, it's just harassment, take five thousand cavalry to drive them away."
Sun Wenting frowned and said softly.
"Order!"
After Vice Admiral Zhang gave the order, he immediately turned around and left the camp.
Just after walking out of the camp tent, I found that the camp had just been set up, and at this time it was already a burning company camp.
Originally, Hu Yongzhi just wanted to harass Sun Wenting's department, but when he thought that there were 70,000 people on the other side, he felt that the harassment was painless, so he decided to use kerosene bottles to set fire to the company camp.
