Chapter 42 Crisis!
After learning this lesson, Zhu Jiabao's crazy mind calmed down a little. He hurriedly called on the increasingly brave soldiers under his command, comforted Yu Dahong, patted his chest and promised that he would make a comeback soon. Then he calmed down his thoughts and turned his attention to the remaining troops of the Revolutionary Army who were running to Hefei and the Wang Shizhen troops of the Qing army who were chasing gold. The deployment should have been done in advance, so let's see if Wang Shizhen is willing to work hard. He hates the feeling that this situation is not in his control. His mind is pleasing to the mood. If Xu Lizhen hadn't resigned on his own initiative, why would he worry that no one of his subordinates could be available?
Not to mention that Zhu Jiabao was venting his depression in Anqing, the remnants of the Revolutionary Army seemed to be unstoppable, but in fact they were not very comfortable. When they were defeated and fled, they were in a hurry and did not carry any supplies and food. Along the way, they defeated the Qing army that was blocking the road with powerful firepower, and barely fed with the food they had captured and carried. Fortunately, the remaining soldiers of the Revolutionary Army were all from poor families who could endure hardships. Without those speculators, the morale of the army was more stable than before the failure.
However, as the number of battles increased, the casualties of the Revolutionary Army gradually increased. Although they could end in victory every time, they would always clean up the battlefield after the war, and they saw the bodies of their former companions. The wounded were heart-wrenching and wailing, and their minds became trembling and uncomfortable. The confidence was slowly washed away, and the joy of defeating the enemy was instantly diluted. The soldiers of the New Resurrection Association all had magical pills for anti-inflammatory and pain relief. In addition, some seriously injured people were arranged to be safe strongholds from time to time along the way, which prevented the Revolutionary Army, which had more than 3,000 soldiers who could fight, from collapsing after a series of battles, did not collapse!
When there were hundreds of miles away from Hefei, the Revolutionary Army finally encountered big trouble. It was not because there were too many Qing troops, nor because the soldiers were depressed and collapsed on their own, but... they were about to lose food. The Qing army, which was originally blocking their way forward, saw that the Revolutionary Army was coming with great force, and the deceased souls were scattered. Seeing this, the defense chiefs from various places had no choice but to play the game of the steadily clearing the world. There was no way, the top was purely delivering vegetables, and whoever wanted to go!
Didn’t your revolutionary army claim that they are just a righteous army, strict military discipline, and do not disturb the people? Well, we will fulfill your wishes and give you the opportunity to show off. Except for those who are so poor that they are so poor, other slightly wealthy people, hurriedly fled the revolutionary army’s march route with gold and silver under the "escort" of the government, and did not give the revolutionary army any chance to "attack the local tyrants"!
