Chapter 78 Abandoned Son
The journey of the world was gone, not only stunned Chen Wen, but also shocked even though the soldiers of the Guards continued to move forward with the guidance of the masses.
"Without Yang Jie, this guy, came to listen to Bai Shu."
In the teahouse, the storyteller was very lively, and several people who listened to Baishu also squatted at the door and heard the sound of Titie. However, once the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper saw them, they would always drive them away to avoid blocking the door and making it impossible for those old men who actually come to spend money to drink tea to enter.
In an instant, Chen Wen suddenly realized that he played the role of a mate for a while. When Yang Jie saw the Ming army launching an attack, he immediately lost the intention to continue watching and turned around and ran away. But on the battlefield, it was life and death at all, and he didn't fight. He just stood there. As soon as the Ming army moved, he fled. Could it be that the Ming army attacked the city stationed by the Qing army was so beautiful, even to the point where he had to take a look even at the risk of his life?
In a blink of an eye, Chen Wen had multiple thoughts, such as whether to let the cavalry chase and slow down the movement speed of the Qing army, and unreliable whether Yang Jie had any mental illness. However, seeing that Jiujiang Green Camp ran faster than rabbits, Chen Wen also knew that his cavalry would not be of much use to chase after him, but if he didn't do it well, he would even be bitten by the Qing army.
Forget it, let them run away. This time, just destroy the Supervisor Camp, it will be enough for Hong Chengchou to drink a pot of it.
The flag stopped pressing forward, and the war drums stopped ringing, and the entire guard camp stopped immediately. With a new round of military orders, the army began to turn and return to join Nantang camp. Only the cavalry was still hanging from behind the Qing army from afar to observe their plans for the next step.
With the monocular telescope in hand, Chen Wen quickly noticed that in just now, more than a dozen Ming troops had rushed to the city, and were lined up into two small formations to block the city wall to protect more Ming troops from entering the city.
This old-style city wall is always straight like a straight line, which looks quite spectacular, but once the siege army as it is now, the defenders in other areas cannot attack the enemy troops that continue to climb the city from other directions like a castle, and can only push them back little by little.
The fierce fighting on the top of the city continued, and more than a dozen Ming troops were guarding the small area, while the Qing troops rushed from both sides to the place. Chen Wen looked from afar and saw that the warrior who had just arrived was no longer there. I don’t know if he died in battle or was injured or leaned behind the scepter to rest.
I can't see clearly the exact details. I saw the sword and sword shadows and blood splattering. Occasionally, I could see some things that were not clear about what was accompanied by the splashing blood slashing through the air.
The battle at the city wall was very fierce, and the Ming army or the Qing army would fall from time to time. The Ming army under the city also transferred another cloud ladder and stood next to the cloud ladder where soldiers were constantly rushing up to the city wall.
When more Ming troops began to rush to the city, suddenly, the defenders seemed to have noticed the situation in the distance. After a shocked scream, the Qing soldiers who were still trying to squeeze the Ming army down the city wall gave up their attacks and fled to the city with the civilians.
Chen Wen could no longer see what was going on over the stairs of the city, but the gray-blue on the top of the city began to fade away rapidly, while the range of fiery red became larger and larger. This was self-evident.
In the city, the gate of the county government office had been closed. Zhang Guoxun, who was wrapped in a blood-stained strip of cloth on his left arm, surrounded by a group of personal soldiers and arrived at the open space in front of the county government office lobby.
"Soldiers, the bandits have entered the city, and the two dog bastards, Wang Zhigang and Yang Jie, have already escaped. We have many bandits who have been killed, and there is only one way to surrender. If you guard this place, the court will build a temple for us."
"Search to the commander to the death!"
"Search to the commander to the death!"
"Search to the commander to the death!"
""
This team of nearly 200 Qing troops was originally brought by Wang Sheng from Ningbo Green Camp, and was the Qing army that had been trained for the longest time in the mandarin duck formation. After Wang Sheng was imprisoned by Hong Chengchou, Zhang Guoxun took over this elite army. During this period, he was quite obedient with money, which was just at this critical moment.
Amid the shouts that echoed through the sky, Zhang Guoxun's personal soldiers guarded the back house of the county government on the pretext that he needed to take care of his wounds. After the idle people were cleared, Zhang Guoxun's two personal soldiers worked together to lift a cabinet and leaked a small hole behind him that could be drilled into and out.
The small hole was outside and was surrounded by a bunch of miscellaneous items. Zhang Guoxun's personal soldiers pushed it away under Zhang Guoxun's instructions, and then surrounded Zhang Guoxun and crawled out one by one.
Behind the small hole is a path between the house and the outer wall of the county government. Zhang Guoxun walked out of the small hole in the house, and crawled towards a dog hole on the outside wall without any reason. Then even his personal soldiers went out one by one, leaving only the armor Zhang Guoxun had just worn to identify his identity, the sword and the blood-stained bandage, guarding the county government with Wang Sheng's old subordinates.
It was a drum that Chen Wen had never thought of before. After all, the Qing army guarding this city was the Superbiao Battalion, one of the few elite troops in the Southeast Green Camp. However, according to the report of Hou Guoyuan, who always served as the commander of the siege, it seemed that the combat effectiveness of this Superbiao Battalion was not only not restored or improved during the truce of several months, but also decreased, but also a lot.
In addition, Yang Jie's reaction was also a strange thing. In addition, Hong Chengchou behind them, Chen Wen always felt that there were strange words everywhere.
But no matter what, the army had entered the city. Not only the north road, but also the Shentangying and Lishui camps on the south road had also rushed into the city. At this moment, in addition to sweeping away the remaining soldiers of the Qing army, the two armies had surrounded the county corps guarded by the last Qing army.
"Master, the Tartar inside said that Zhang Guoxun had run away and they wanted to seek a way out."
If you want to survive, isn’t it over just abandoning your weapons and surrendering?
"What do the Tartars inside do?"
"They did not answer, and the last will have sent someone to find the prisoners to identify them."
"Um."
After a while, a Qing army officer was brought to Chen Wen. This man knew about some defense, and he also confirmed the number and ownership of the Qing army in the county yamen.
"So it's an old acquaintance." Chen Wen sneered at Hou Guoyuan after listening to the Qing army officer's words: "It's a cheap king who has been promoted. That's to let these guys take the lead, and it's just a good time to beat their old boss to stand up."
"I will obey the order."
Hou Guoyuan knew very well that if it weren't for Wang Sheng, the crushing defeat by Siming Lake would probably not have happened. If it weren't for Wang Sheng, Wang Jiang would not have been captured. Naturally, the dirty thing that last year would not have happened. If it weren't for Wang Sheng, his old brother Niu Ping'an and the elder brother who had always been very responsible in the team would not have died in the battle.
Although there was no Wang Sheng here, this Qing army was able to rely on many sins. Moreover, over the years, they were already covered in the blood of the Ming army, and they had an irreconcilable blood feud with the Ming army where he was. They were no longer within the scope of being forgiven.
Confucius said: "How can we repay kindness with virtue? Repay kindness with virtue and repay kindness with righteousness!"
What reading brought Hou Guoyuan not only priority improvement in official positions, but also learned many principles that he had never thought of before. Today, it is the best opportunity to put these principles into practice.
