Chapter 90 Suizhou
This is the real reason why Li Zicheng's army and Dashun army are so desperate.
The Qing soldiers had already gained the advantage of the entire field without the red-clothed cannons. The Dashun Army lost no matter what method they used. Now Duoduo has received support from dozens of red-clothed cannons. Does the Dashun Army have any surprises to win?
These were dozens of red-clothed cannons. Although it took the Qing army a day or two to get these red-clothed cannons to officially enter the battle, Li Zicheng and his generals were both in despair.
Smelling the faint smell of gunpowder, Li Zicheng had already made up his mind: "Let the soldiers speed up their time to rest. No matter how many red cannons there are, we cannot give up the hope of victory!"
He was ready to spend all his capital and gamble with the Qing army, but he himself knew very well that this was just a very optimistic estimate.
Even a few months ago, he was still singing all the way. Everyone thought he was the Lord of Destiny. Now not only he and the Dashun Army have fallen into a desperate situation, but even the entire land of China is completely in decline.
Who has the ability to turn the tide and save the people from the fire and water?
Li Zicheng couldn't see through the fog of history.
But the city of Suizhou thousands of miles away was full of joy. Yuan Shu and Hou Fangyu, two natives of Guide Mansion, were introducing the mountains and rivers of Guide Mansion to everyone, but Gao Jie didn't care at all: "Just just Xu Dingguo, don't be so nervous!"
This Northern Expedition can be said to be extremely relaxed, even more relaxed than a marching, although Gao Jie's actions to Shu Haoge can be described as self-inflicted humiliation.
In his letters, Haoge continued to surrender Shi Kefa and Gao Jie, and even said, "I know that I have the intention of surrendering, and it is the day when I make a contribution. If I can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, choose the master to work, and I will come to you. If I cross the river, the general's fame will be unusual." He ignored "joining troops to suppress the invasion", but Haoge's bold words were just verbal skills and he refused to send troops to cross the river at all.
This Northern Expedition Gao Jie sent 20,000 troops. How dare the local chickens and dogs in the local area fight against Gao Jie's field army? So the journey was unstoppable, making Gao Jie feel that everything was under control. When Hou Fangyu heard Gao Jie say this, he couldn't help but say something more: "It's true that there is no need to be so nervous, but the horse team in Liu Zongzhen seemed to have run too far?"
Although this young master Hou has not had any contact with Liu Yongxi so far, he already knew that Li Xiangjun was in Liu Yongxi's camp and was favored by Liu Yongxi, so Hou Fangyu hated Liu Yongxi.
This is his woman. Liu Yongxi is too brave to provoke his woman!
But he was just an ordinary aide in Gao Jie's army, and he couldn't even deal with a single boss. Besides, Liu Yongxi was completely self-righteous in Gao Jie's army, and even Gao Jie himself couldn't do anything to Liu Yongxi, let alone him, Hou Fangyu, a scholar, so Hou Fangyu could only choose this opportunity to say one or two words to Liu Yongxi.
But now Gao Jie was in high spirits and did not take Hou Fangyu's reminder in his heart. Mrs. Xing, who was standing by, even smiled and helped Liu Yongxi explain what was going on: "General Liu is eager to ask for battle. Now his vanguard team should have passed Suizhou. This is a good thing!"
Gao Jie also laughed: "Yes, it's indeed a good thing. I'm very satisfied with General Liu's army being able to send troops, not to mention that he is still the vanguard of the entire army now!"
Although the previous few parties left a very good impression on Liu Yongxi, this Northern Expedition really made everyone, including Gao Jie, look at Linhuai Town with admiration.
Linhuai Town is really too warlike. Even veterans like Li Benshen think that the new army in Linhuai Town regarded this Northern Expedition as an exercise and had never considered the possibility of being ambushed by the enemy. Moreover, Xing Shengping was dragged into the water by Liu Yongxi.
Of course, for Gao Jie's army, the aggressive advancement of Linhuai Town is also a good thing. If the Qing army really moves south in a large-scale south, Linhuai Town will definitely be the first to bear the brunt. At this time, the outpost has already reported the latest progress in Suizhou City: "General Xu Dingguo has left the city. He is willing to surrender and invite Xingpingbo to the city!"
There were bursts of cheers coming from Gao Jie. Xu Dingguo's reaction was as expected. After all, Xu Dingguo only had a few thousand shrimp soldiers and crab generals, so how could he be more than Gao Jie's 20,000 army? Moreover, this has not included the 3,700 partial troops of Liu Yongxi and Xing Shengping.
Gao Jie laughed: "I knew that Xu Dingguo is a coward, and A Dou who can't help him at all will never be able to change in his life!"
He and Xu Dingguo were old acquaintances and felt that they knew Xu Dingguo well. However, Mrs. Xing reminded him: "Husband, Xu Dingguo has thousands of soldiers no matter what, so be sure to give him face!"
Gao Jie didn't take Xu Dingguo seriously at all: "Give him some face? I'm giving him a way out. Of course, if his performance is similar to General Liu Yongxi, I might have a few more words for him!"
Gao Jie felt that no matter how hard Xu Dingguo did, he could not escape from the palm of Tathagata Buddha!
And Li Xiangjun is now increasingly unable to understand Liu Yongxi's operations.
Liu Yongxi was too active in this Northern Expedition. If Gao Jie's army had just arrived at the city of Suizhou, then Liu Yongxi had blocked several roads for the Suizhou defenders to escape.
At first she thought that Liu Yongxi was so active in the Northern Expedition because of Mrs. Xing, but now she is becoming more and more confused as she looks at it. Liu Yongxi knew that this Northern Expedition would definitely fail, but he intervened so actively, and was even more active than the generals under Gao Jie.
Considering that Liu Yongxi started from scratch and built the foundation of Linhuai Town in a few months, Li Xiangjun felt that this matter might not be as simple as she imagined. Therefore, she knew that the march was extremely hard, but she still kept up.
Today, when she heard that Suizhou had opened the city, Li Xiangjun finally couldn't help it. She jumped out of the carriage and found Liu Yongxi and several battalion officials around her, but found Xing Shengping complaining: "I heard that Xu Dingguo held a big banquet for wine, ponds and meat forests in Suizhou. We have no contributions and have worked hard, so why didn't anyone get the invitation!"
Liu Yongxi immediately laughed: "Xingping Bo only invited me to the banquet with him, but I refused!"
Zhao Zhijie asked more: "Why don't you go? I heard that everyone is worthy of two great beauties!"
This is also the question Li Xiangjun wants to know. She was about to ask Zhao Zhijie for more questions after asking, but she heard a noise behind her, and then several sharp-eyed scouts shouted: "It's a fire!"
"It's a fire in Suizhou City!"
