Chapter 252: The Decisive Battle
"General!"
The guards hiding under the other bunkers saw this scene and their eyes were split, and several loyal guards rushed out from under the bunkers without caring that they would be exposed.
"General." Looking at Yu Jian, whose flesh and blood were blurred, they were so anxious that they didn't know where to start to help him up.
"Ahem, ahem!"
The bloody humanoid creature on the ground coughed weakly, trying to lift its arm, but to no avail, and just lifted a little and fell back.
"General, where are you injured?"
Yu Jian's chest was stuffy and he couldn't speak, he listened to the questions of the guards, and wanted to say that he was injured everywhere in his body, and he was only one step away from death.
After a round of shelling, Li Dingguo drew his sword and pointed straight at the valley, shouting loudly: "Brothers, they have no power to fight back, rush me!" Capture the thief alive and make the first contribution! ”
The flag bearer waved the flag, and the other soldiers who were far away saw the flag and stood up and rushed down the mountain.
The only thing that is not perfect is that there is no trumpet, and it is even more appropriate if the trumpet is blown.
Yu Jian was lying on his back, and noticed that the imperial soldiers and horses rushing down from the mountain couldn't move, so he was so anxious that he didn't catch his breath, and fainted directly.
Seeing this, his personal guards no longer cared about the possibility that he might be injured, so they directly carried him on their backs and fled to the mouth of the valley.
The other rebels who were still alive saw that the life and death of the leading generals were unknown, and they were carried by the guards and rushed out, so they could not care about finding a way to resist the enemy, and followed the guards to the mouth of the valley.
The soldiers and horses of the imperial court caught up, seeing that they could not escape, the rebels running behind saw the wind and rudder, and knelt directly on the ground and raised their hands in surrender, they knew very well that no matter what, life was the most important thing!
Li Dingguo saw the rebels running behind surrender, and shouted at the soldiers and horses in front: "Those who surrender will not be killed!" ”
When the soldiers in front heard this, they also shouted loudly to the front: "Those who descend will not be killed!" Those who descend will not be killed! ”
The panting rebels who were running in front of them heard this roar in unison, and their legs weakened in fright, and they knelt on the ground and raised their hands in surrender.
"Don't kill me, I surrender! Actually, I don't want to be a traitor for a long time! ”
"I surrender! When a traitor hasn't been paid yet, I don't want to do it anymore! ”
"Official, can I make a meritorious service if I catch the head of the thief?"
When the guards who ran away with Yu Jian on their backs heard this, they almost tripped over their left foot and their right foot, and they tripped themselves up, wanting to be loyal to the Lord and get the attention of the Master afterwards.
Now that he has been manipulated by these traitors like a tiger, Yu Jian on his back has become a hot potato.
The high morale caused the imperial court soldiers to descend from the mountains and tigers, and captured nearly half of this rebel army, and the other half was basically destroyed by shelling.
"General Li, what should you do with this rebel leader?" Niu Debao kicked Yu Jian, who was lying on the ground and didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
Li Dingguo squatted down and probed his breath, "The breath is weak, it looks like he can't survive." ”
Niu Debao said with pity: "It's a pity, it's more useful to be alive than dead!" ”
The credit for capturing the thief head alive is much stronger than the head, but unfortunately this Yu Jian is unlucky, just a bombardment, he was unlucky to be shot.
"He's not dead yet!" The rebel kneeling on the ground next to him reminded.
Li Dingguo glanced at him and snorted coldly: "Serious internal injuries, if you don't die, you will lose half your life, in this battlefield where there is a shortage of medical treatment, it is only a matter of time before he dies!" ”
Niu Debao also said: "If he is seriously injured like this, if he does not die, it will only slow down our travel speed, so the gains outweigh the losses, and we can only finish him off in advance." ”
He landed from the Lingshan Guard, just to surprise and attack him, if he wanted to take this seriously injured Yu Jian with him, it would definitely drag down their trip.
In this way, it is better to give him a good time!
Yu Jian's personal guards frowned, wanting to fight for Yu Jian's life: "He fought bravely, if he was injured, maybe he would be a fierce general, but it may not be necessary to open up territory for the imperial court!" ”
Niu Debao listened to his words and sneered: "Brave in battle? You actually fought bravely in front of us? Do you know that he fought bravely and killed our court soldiers? If, according to your words, he is still the executioner who slaughtered our soldiers, he deserves to die for such a wicked man! ”
The guard listened to his words and was shocked, he was a rough man, clumsy, and this thing backfired and self-defeating! ——
Let's talk about Leling, Qingzhou, when he learned that Yanzhou was lost, Qin Lang's hair turned a lot gray overnight.
Finally, after besieging the city for half a month, he still adopted the advice of his staff and organized a team of men and horses to go out of the city at night to attack the grain and grass of the imperial military camp.
When marching and fighting, food and grass are the top priority.
The soldiers and horses of the imperial court attach the most importance to the defense of grain and grass, and the rebels have been discovered before they have approached, and their whereabouts have been exposed.
Long Yutian acted according to the plan, and asked the court soldiers to pretend to be the rebels who attacked the attack, and in the night of fire and chaos, they fled back to Leling City.
The inside and the outside should be combined, Leling City was finally broken by the imperial court soldiers and horses, and Qin Lang and Prince Ning broke through with an elite team.
Flee all the way north, like a lost dog, embarrassed!
"General, where are we going now? Is it going to Qingzhou or other cities? Qin Lang's staff rode up to him and asked.
Qin Lang looked back at the defeated team, and frowned: "Then according to Mr. Yi's meaning, where should we go?" ”
Staff: "This time we went out of the city in a hurry, and the grain and grass and baggage were not transported, so we must go back to Qingzhou City, which is our base camp, and the grain and grass and baggage have to be replenished there." ”
This time, the imperial court soldiers and horses attacked them at the same time in several ways, obviously determined to wipe them out, Qin Lang was worried that Qingzhou City was in danger, so he said: "One of the obvious targets of the imperial court soldiers and horses this time is Qingzhou City, isn't it equivalent to throwing ourselves into the net when we go to Qingzhou City?" ”
The staff nodded: "Qingzhou City can't stay, we just replenish the supplies and immediately withdraw the army and flee east, it's really not good, we have a way to retreat, we can go to Jeju Island by boat." ”
It's just that to the point where they want to take a boat, there will definitely be a large number of brothers who follow them from birth to death who can't be taken away, so that they will fall into the hands of the imperial court, and they can only silently say sorry in their hearts!
The imperial court soldiers were divided into four routes to counter-rebel armies, mainly by land and supplemented by sea landings, and at the same time marched to the hinterland of Qingzhou.
Zhending Road, Shunde Road and Jining Road, the three roads go hand in hand, so that the rebels have no way to escape, and there is no chance to jump to other state capitals.
And Li Dingguo, who landed by sea and marched from Yidu Road, cooperated with the other three routes of soldiers and horses, had not yet engaged the main force of the rebels, and made a contribution on the way.
The four-way soldiers and horses slowly contracted the encirclement, and at least the rebels had no chance to flee to the west or south. Now they can only be forced to flee east.
Long Yutian made such a deployment arrangement, that is, he did not give the rebels a way out, and in the case of the strong strength of the imperial court, the rebels did not even have the heart to fight with the imperial soldiers, and only wanted to escape from the encirclement of the imperial soldiers and horses as soon as possible.
In this strange situation where you chase me and flee, the counterinsurgency of the imperial court is unusually smooth.
Even Long Yutian was sighing, this is the queen's mother giving him credit, and let him pick up credit outside.
And what really scared the rebels was not how perfect his strategy was, but that the rebels were afraid of their army's weapons, crushing battles, leaving no chance for the enemy to win, and the enemy who directly pressed them had no fighting spirit.
It wasn't until the rebels were forced to Kenli that Qin Lang realized that the Yu Dynasty was no longer the Yu Dynasty of the year, and the current Yu army was well-equipped, with sufficient grain and grass salaries, which was a sign of prosperity, and there was no social turmoil during the uprising.
"General, we came all the way and took away all the grain that could be taken away from the granary, and burned everything that could not be taken away, and my subordinates couldn't understand that when the grain and grass were burned out, where would they get the grain and grass in the future?" The staff was puzzled.
The soldiers and horses of the imperial court chased and beat them fiercely, and it stands to reason that such a fast speed could not transport the baggage and grain and grass, but the soldiers and horses of the imperial court just persevered, and kept biting them.
Qin Lang looked at the vast sea, the sea breeze blew the white hair on his temples, he listened to the words of his staff, and sighed: "No matter what, we will burn down the last granary in Cangzhou, and requisition all the ships along the nearby coast." ”
There was no way to escape but to board a ship and go to sea.
The overseas place is huge, and one day he will have the opportunity to counterattack back!
The order was passed down, and Qin Lang turned his head to look at Prince Ning: "Your Majesty, will you follow us to flee overseas, or will you stick to this land?" After all, your ancestors are buried in this land! ”
Prince Ning: "."
It is as if your ancestors were not buried in this land!
"I am now a wanted target of the imperial court, staying in this land will either die or be imprisoned for life, life and freedom are threatened, there is little point in staying in this land, I will go to sea with you by boat."
Qin Lang listened to his words, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily, what he said was high-sounding, and finally summed it up, afraid of death!
The staff interjected at this time and suggested: "General, if you want me to say, now that we are about to go to sea, it is useless to keep him, why don't you kill him?" There is also Cangzhou City, burning the granary is cheaper for them, how about slaughtering the city? ”
Not to mention, Qin Lang listened to his suggestion, and he was really a little moved, mainly because he had been in business in Qingzhou for a few years, and finally resumed production, but as a result, he asked the court to pick his peaches, how to think about it and how unwilling!
I have to add some trouble to the court!
Prince Ning listened to their words, looked at their crazy expressions, and muttered, "You guys are crazy! You crazy people! Fight for hegemony in the world, even if you fail, you shouldn't anger the people, no matter how you say that the people are innocent! ”
"Heh, I never thought that you were still a good emperor who worries about the country and the people!" Qin Lang gritted his teeth and stepped forward, raising his hand to slap him.
"Smack!"
"Don't be ashamed to give face, I really think that if you are the emperor, you are really the emperor, and you dare to preach to General Ben and give you face?"
Prince Ning covered his hot face and stared at Qin Lang in shock, he never thought that the person who had treated him with courtesy would one day add punches and kicks to him.
"General Qin, are you going to break the jar?" Prince Ning rubbed his cheeks, and the corners of his mouth pulled out a touch of sarcasm: "It's not me who has caused all this now, it's Yu Jian under your General Qin, if he hadn't fled in defeat and lost Yanzhou, it would have been impossible for the imperial court soldiers and horses to surround you so quickly, resulting in your defeat!" ”
Qin Lang was annoyed when he thought of this, when he was in Qingzhou, he could be said to be beyond the reach of the whip in Yanzhou, the imperial court soldiers and horses attacked so quickly, it was understandable that he couldn't resist it, what he couldn't accept the most was that Yu Jian abandoned him and fled by himself!
That's what he can't tolerate! ——
When the battle report of Qingzhou reached Jiankang, Li Jingfu excitedly said three good words in front of all the courtiers in the court!
"Good, good! My Dayu boy's demeanor is still the same, with the style of Taizu back then, quelling the rebellion and civil strife, expelling the Beidi Tartars, showing the prestige of the Dayu court! ”
"Long live my emperor, Dayu Wanjiang!"
The courtiers also knelt on the ground excitedly and shouted in unison.
Dayu civil strife for a few years, although he has not caught the thief leader, has not wiped them out, but the success of the counterinsurgency is a foregone conclusion, these generals who led the troops are indispensable, with this glory, at least three generations have no worries about wealth and nobility!
In the palace of diligent administration, there was rejoicing, and the officials hated to immediately tell the people of the whole world that the emperor also wanted to share this good news with the people of the whole world.
"The minister thought that the traitors had suffered serious losses, and they would definitely go to sea by boat, so the emperor hurriedly issued an order urging the Longjian army to prevent the rebels from going to sea, and they must be wiped out in Qingzhou, lest they come from heavy soil, and there will be endless troubles!" Left servant shot proposed.
Li Jingfu waved the letter in his hand and explained: "Qin thief head, fleeing all the way, setting fire all the way, causing some towns to suffer, how big the specific loss, I believe that in a few days, the post station will send a letter again." Long Yutian and others led the soldiers and horses to settle the people on the one hand, but also to prevent the rebels from raiding, it can be said that outside, all the team members are in the spirit of twelve points, or if something happens, it will be a big deal! ”
A military general with knowledge of the army stood up and proposed: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the top priority is how to deploy Qingzhou's border defense as quickly as possible after retaking Qingzhou!" ”
Li Jingfu didn't understand and asked, "How do you say this?" ”
Zhibing and military generals: "The rebels have occupied Qingzhou for several years, and they definitely don't need to think about it to know that they don't pay enough attention to coastal border defense facilities, and the worst case is that the military fortifications of the border defense have been delayed by them." ”
"The civil strife is calmed, and in the next few years, the imperial court will definitely vigorously develop agriculture, and when there will be more food, the coastal areas will definitely be harassed by pirates, and maybe there will be outsiders to rob it!"
Li Jingfu nodded, the civil strife is calmed, and it is definitely necessary to vigorously develop all walks of life.
Not to be outdone, Tobe Shangshu stood up, "The place where the rebel leader passed, like locusts passing through, and the best trees were peeled off a lot by them, he wanted to provoke everyone, and he actually set fire to the granaries of all the places he passed. ”
This wave of operations by the rebels has led to a certain shortage of food in Qingzhou this year, and now how to solve this possible famine.
"Your Majesty, the household department has no food to transfer to Qingzhou, why don't you let them solve it on the spot? Or should I send some? ”
Li Jingfu was a little angry when he was a scoundrel, but it is also a fact, when you go out, everyone has to get along day and night and help each other.
