Chapter 135                                                             

A short and tragic battle came to an end almost within a stick of incense.

I don’t know if it was Li Guo who killed the generals in front of the formation, which made the Xia army lose command and was in chaos. Or if Li Guo adhered to the key to quick battle and decided quickly, he did not dare to delay the time at all. Therefore, this battle was very fast.

When Zhang Yingyuan felt it.

Only a corpse was left.

The sky was bright and thousands of cavalry surrounded him. Zhang Yingyuan arrived at the battlefield.

He saw the corpses all over the ground and couldn't help but angrily said, "Just killing hundreds of horses, you will retreat."

There were only a thousand corpses on the ground, and some of them were from Li Guo's subordinates. Obviously, during the war, Li Guo's subordinates were not unscathed. Moreover, the time was too tight to have no time to clean the battlefield. I could only give the seriously injured a happy time.

Zhang Yingyuan was very disappointed with the situation on the battlefield.

Although he was slapped in the face by the situation on the battlefield, he was a long-time general after all, and he saw many victories and losses. He quickly calmed down.

However, what he was even more disappointed was the specific situation on the battlefield.

The Caoying Jingqi was the only cavalry team that was the only one in the world back then, but now it has collapsed with less than one-sixth of the casualties. This is not like the Caoying Jingqi. In his mind, the Caoying Jingqi can't be said to fight to the death and refuse to retreat, but he is definitely not going to retreat with such a large casualties. And with the army on his side.

"Master, please give us another chance to make us lose our merits." More than a dozen generals knelt on the ground and said.

"The last general asks to pursue Li Guo, but if Li Guo is not allowed, he will not come back."

For a moment, I said everything.

Although these people were weak for a while, they were fighting after all, and they just relaxed just now. Seeing this situation, they were also ashamed and asked for a fight.

Zhang Yingyuan said, "No need." The word "kill" circled in his mouth for several times, but he couldn't continue to say it. Many of these people were following his old brothers. There were not many old brothers back then, so how could he bear it? He angrily killed him. He said, "If you pull it down, you will be responsible for the sixty military sticks."

"Yes." The personal soldiers immediately pulled them down and beat military sticks in every detail.

These sixty military sticks were taken down, but they could not get up if they didn't lie in bed for a month or two. However, compared to their life, it was nothing?

"Go back." Zhang Yingyuan said as he cleaned the battlefield.

"Master, don't you go after Li Guo?" someone asked.

"I won't chase after you." Zhang Yingyuan said: "I won't go anywhere until Ganzhou City is taken."

The reason why Zhang Yingyuan made a decision was that this defeat sounded the alarm for him. He found that his judgment on his combat effectiveness was wrong. At the same time, he also confirmed that Li Guo was a tough guy, after all, he was a general who had followed the King of Chuang for many years.

If there are fewer people sent, there may be something unexpected. If there are more people sent, there may be accidents here in Ganzhou City.

Because after this piece, Zhang Yingyuan had a feeling that the fruit of Ganzhou City was almost ripe after more than a month of besieging the city, and it seemed that he could take it down with a touch. So he had to focus on Ganzhou City.

Some of Zhang Yingyuan's judgments are correct.

At this moment, it can be said that people were panicked in Ganzhou. I don’t know how many civil and military officials were at a loss because they found that Zhang Kuang, the real person in charge of the city, suddenly disappeared, and they didn’t know what to do.

A group of people were talking in a mess in the government office, saying everything. Someone went to invite He Tengjiao, some wanted to surrender, and some people saw this and lost hope in defending the city. They threw their sleeves and went home. They no longer took care of the matter.

"Sir, you guys are not doing well. Xia thieves are ready to attack the city." A soldier ran in and didn't know who to report to for a while, so he had to shout.

"What----" The people who were originally talking about it became quiet for a moment. After a moment of silence, they started talking again.

Someone said, "Didn't you stop sieging the city for many days? Why did you siege the city again today?"

Someone said, "Go to the city, send someone to the city?" But no one listened to this guy's words.

"There is no good intention to make a fool of yourself." Someone cursed.

"Cough cough." An old man came out with a violent cough and said, "What's the noise? I'm not dead yet."

This person is He Tengjiao.

"Greetings to Master He." Everyone said in unison.

Prestige is hard to explain, but it works very often. He Tengjiao is like this. He didn't care about things before, but now when he comes out, all the officials have won the backbone for a while. Although the situation outside has not changed, they are much more at ease.

"Mr. Zhang and General Li went out of the city to fight, but have not returned to the city now. The Xia thief has attacked the city again. Please ask the Supervisor He to take charge of the overall situation." I don't know who said something.

"Please also supervise the army to take charge of the overall situation." Everyone said in unison, shaking the rubble.

"Okay." He Tengjiao was not pretentious and said, "Come."

"The last one will be there," said several generals.

"Hold my flag, I want to patrol the city." He Tengjiao said.

"yes."

Amid the rumbling sound of cannons, the soldiers of the Xia army pushed countless siege equipment to rush up, including hope towers, cave cars, railing cars, etc., all kinds of siege equipment, at least more than meter high, and the highest one was level with the city wall. Although Zhang Yingyuan did not siege the city, there were many preparations for various siege equipment. At this moment, they were all set up and striving to attack the city under the cover of artillery.

Zhang Yingyuan also clearly felt the weakness of the Ming army on the top of the city. He said intimately, "It's true that if I expected, today's battle may be determined."

It just happened that he never expected, and saw a big banner with the word "He" floating above the city wall. Wherever he went, morale was high in all places, and he immediately attacked the Xia army's offensive. The Ming army seemed to have become a different person.

Zhang Yingyuan held the Qianli Mile Mile and stared at the old man under the banner. It was He Tengjiao. He couldn't help but sigh and said, "He Tengjiao is not dead, Ganzhou goes south. However, if you sell your own flaws, don't blame me for being rude."

At this moment, Zhang Yingyuan had already inquired about the news about Fushougou and had sent people to find it. All the exits of the culverts sent from Ganzhou City must be cleared out except for a few that were too small or directly discharged to Gongshui and Zhangshui.

Zhang Yingyuan did not intend to attack the acupoints.

First, he felt that this Fushougou was already on the surface for both sides, and he thought that the city would strengthen its defense. The attack may not be able to be defeated. Second, the situation in Fushougou is complicated. Why is the sewer in Ganzhou City called Fushougou? It is not a good start, but the trend of Fushougou underground, like the words "Fu" and "Shou", which are particularly noted in traditional Chinese characters. It can be seen that it is complicated and you don't know how to die if you walk in unknown terrain.

However, this does not prevent Zhang Yingyuan from taking advantage of this place.

After all, Zhang Xuan's pearls and jade are in front of him. Zhang Yingyuan has also heard of how Zhang Xuan used gunpowder to collapse the Changsha city wall. After all, Zhang Xuan has a unit, the Wang Dapao Department, which will serve under Zhang Yingyuan's command, and many things naturally spread.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yingyuan said to the people around him: "Send someone to Changsha immediately and ask the general to send Hu Quede to him."

"Yes." The person around him said immediately.

Hu Quede was a tomb robber, and he had no other talent than digging holes. Even if Zhang Xuan was interested in promoting him, he would convince the public. Moreover, Hu Quede was not comfortable. He is now Zhang Xuan's guest or guest official.

Zhang Xuan gave him monthly silver in the name of the Duke of Zheng's Mansion. He didn't have to do anything, and he spent money every month, which was also considered a life of a god. He originally wanted to be a wife after finding a famous family in Changsha Mansion. After all, Changsha City had just changed its dynasty, and many dignitaries were reduced to prisoners.

A famous daughter who is unattainable on weekdays, now is a good time to get started.

However, this letter from Zhang Yingyuan is destined to shatter his dream.

Just when Zhang Yingyuan launched the second round of offensive against Ganzhou City, Li Guo finally left Jiangxi and entered the territory of Guangdong. At this time, Li Guo breathed a sigh of relief.
