Chapter 163: Pouring Rain

Geng Bingwen said to do it.

Many people in Xi'an have not yet reacted. Geng Bingwen had already taken the tens of thousands of elites he could take away, abandoned Xi'an City, and went all the way to the southeast.

There is also a reason why Geng Bingwen can be so neat and tidy, the biggest reason is that Geng Bingwen gave up a lot of foreign troops and the local army in Guanzhong, after all, Shaanxi is also an important source of troops in the southern army, and in its heyday, the Shaanxi capital division also had dozens of guards and hundreds of thousands of troops.

Now, Geng Bingwen has given up all of them.

He can't give up if he doesn't give up.

The foundation of these armies is in Guanzhong, their families are small in Guanzhong, and the lower the people, the more they will not abandon their hometowns and go to other places in the south because of any emperor. Not to mention, now it seems that the possibility of Nanjing's victory is not very likely.

If it was an alien invasion of the south, naturally there would be many people who followed the southern army south, but wasn't it?

To put it mildly, the military minutes of the Northern Army are better than those of the Southern Army.

Moreover, Geng Bingwen also has his own news channels, and many generals have been shaken. It's just because of Geng Bingwen's prestige and kindness. didn't dare to rebel, but Geng Bingwen also knew that any kindness in the troubled times was empty.

He is good to gather and disperse now, and these people still accept a favor.

If you force these people to withdraw with them, not to mention whether so many people can be withdrawn in front of the enemy. If you think otherwise, that's a big problem.

Therefore, Geng Bingwen could only take the elite he trusted and quietly left Xi'an City.

Seemingly successful. But in fact, every time Geng Bingwen retreated, his army was a big slimming.

There used to be hundreds of thousands of troops, but now there are only tens of thousands.

Geng Bingwen himself held on even more, and in order to boost morale, he did not ride a horse. Walk with the soldiers and tell the soldiers that everything will be fine when they get to Lantian.

It's just that, suddenly, a drop of rain hit Geng Bingwen's face. Geng Bingwen was stunned for a moment, the whole person seemed to be frozen, he looked at the sky blankly, only to see that the sky was surging with wind and clouds, and there seemed to be a black line coming from the south. It seems to be a galloping horse.

A heavy rain is coming.

No, Geng Bingwen didn't think it was a heavy rain. Because he knows very well that in the first half of this year, it is not that there was no rain, but in general there was not much rain. It could even be said to be a drought. This year's wheat harvest is not very good, and it is for this reason.

I don't know whether Geng Bingwen is lucky or unlucky.

Many people have a feeling as if the rain is constant throughout the year. Except for the year when it is destined to be a major drought or flood, in other years, if it does not rain for a long time, then the rain is a heavy rain. It seems that all the water that was lacking before will be replenished.

Now, Geng Bingwen's encounter is probably like this.

Geng Bingwen only felt that his throat was surging, and a mouthful of reverse blood spurted out, and then it was washed away by countless rains.

In these years, the roads that were known as official roads were not much better than the dirt roads in the countryside in later generations. Once it rains, it becomes muddy ground, and it is difficult to walk alone. Not to mention that there is so much baggage to transport.

It was a nightmare.

This is also why in the event of heavy rain, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang can't leave in Daze Township.

Now Geng Bingwen has tried all means to deduct a few days in Qu Neng's encirclement. But now it has encountered this heavy rain. Didn't he take Geng Bingwen's life, all his previous actions were useless.

------

At this moment, Qu Neng hit the horse and entered Xi'an City.

Qu Neng found out that Xi'an City was empty on the afternoon of the second day after Geng Bingwen left Xi'an City. The soldiers defending the city of Xi'an found that they had been given up by Geng Bingwen. Only then did he send someone to find Qu Neng.

Qu Neng brought people to accept it.

For taking Xi'an Empty City, Qu Neng also feels very complicated.

On the one hand, whatever? The city of Xi'an was taken, all of which was the credit of his Qu Neng. And Geng Bingwen left

At that time, there was no destruction, although it was said that some important materials were all taken away. However, many materials that were not too important were left in Xi'an.

This saved the Northern Army a lot of trouble.

Even the bureaucracy at all levels in the city of Xi'an is complete.

As long as a governor is sent over, the entire city of Xi'an can be functional.

This saved Qu Neng a lot of things. Qu Neng was still relatively happy.

But on the other hand, Geng Bingwen played Qu Neng again. Although it is said that Geng Bingwen and Qu Neng's parents are of the same generation. Being played by this veteran is not an unacceptable thing. But it's always uncomfortable.

In particular, Qu can calculate time.

Now if you go to chase again, it is estimated that you will not be able to catch up.

At this moment, Qu Neng suddenly felt a wetness on his face. A moment later, a gust of wind swept down the rain, dousing Qu Neng with a soup chicken.

But Qu Neng didn't get angry, but laughed.

Qu Neng said, "Marquis Changxing, it seems that God also looks at you unpleasantly."

Without saying a word, Qu Neng ordered all the cavalry to be called up and follow him in pursuit.

Although attacking in the middle of heavy rain, there will be many problems. The most obvious problem is typhoid fever.

A heavy rain is easy to make people catch a cold, not to mention that some cavalry have to run wild in the heavy rain, cold and hot, and more likely to get sick. Even though He Xi worked hard to strengthen the construction of military doctors, he established the Tai Hospital from the Nanjing period. With the efforts of Doctor Dai and his disciples, the military doctors are also quite level.

But a lot of things can't be changed. That is, the number of high-level doctors is still small relative to the absolute number. Not the average less. Such a large-scale military operation, whether successful or unsuccessful, would cause a large number of soldiers to fall ill and easily turn into a plague.

Many times, there is an epidemic in the army. That's how it came about.

However, after weighing the pros and cons, Qu Neng decided to do so.

One day of the tiger, several lifetimes of trouble.

Geng Bingwen's ability is only a general, but his ability in defensive warfare is too strong. In addition, the bonus of firearms to defense is too powerful. It can be said that in terms of defense alone, even Fu Youde may not be better than Geng Bingwen.

Qu Neng has suffered enough on this. He didn't want to eat it again. Look at the book

Qu Neng also knows very well that under the current situation, it is inevitable that Nanjing will retreat in the Central Plains. However, it does not necessarily mean that Beijing will definitely be able to take Nanjing. Once Geng Bingwen sticks to some key positions, it can disgust the dead.

After all, the terrain for defense in the age of firearms can also be much relaxed. Now Geng Bingwen's retreat will either consume Geng Bingwen's strength little by little with absolute strength, or it will be a change in the rear, so that Geng Bingwen has to retreat.

It was never said that it would be easy to break through Geng Bingwen's defenses.

In Qu Neng's opinion, even if he didn't beat Geng Bingwen's tens of thousands of elites, just talking about Geng Bingwen himself was enough for him to take risks.

-------

Shaking on the carriage, Geng Bingwen opened his eyes in a trance.

He listened to the voices outside.

In the heavy rain, the Yugoslav army was still trying to move forward. There are different sounds of heavy rain on the body, on the ground, in the rain, and even on people. In addition, there are countless people shouting and neighing on their feet.

Many vehicles were stuck in the muddy China, and countless people shouted and pushed the vehicles out.

But the car that has just been pushed out can easily sink into the next mud pit. And so on.

This is also the reason why many people take a year or two to go for land transportation. This is also the reason why the land transportation of grain is so depleting.

This situation is still a small situation, although in most of these cases, the transport personnel will take shelter from the rain and stay in place for a period of time, even a month or two. It's just that now, they simply don't have time.

Geng Bingwen wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and couldn't speak.

His body was originally strong, but this time he was angry and anxious, and the whole person passed out. At the moment, I just feel

His mouth was dry, and he felt as if he was being roasted on a reddish iron plate.

Teppanyaki.

It's just that Geng Bingwen came to his senses, gritted his teeth, and forcibly restrained all kinds of discomfort in his body, because he knew that now was not the time for him to rest. He is the backbone of the whole army, and he must come forward so that more soldiers can see him here.
