Chapter 15 I will not retreat!
Enemies are all on all sides, southeast, west and north!
The Qing soldiers rushed towards the city like a sea of anger, launching round after round of rapid offensives.
Gradually, the Ming army also felt a little struggling.
Zhu Youlang frowned and looked solemn.
"Please go back to the palace and avoid the edge!"
Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Mu Tianbo hurriedly rushed to the emperor to advise him.
Zhu Youlang shook his head and said, "The soldiers are working hard for me, how can I leave? I am here, don't take a step back!"
Seeing that Emperor Yongli was so determined, Mu Tianbo couldn't persuade him anymore, so he asked the Jinyiwei to protect the emperor Zhouquan.
At this moment, a branch of a wandering arrow shot through the right eye of a soldier in the Jinyi Guard. But when he heard a scream, the man immediately died of pain.
This soldier of the Jinyi Guard was only a few steps away from Zhu Youlang. He saw his guard being shot to death with his own eyes, and the vibration he felt was hard to describe in words.
Life is so fragile in troubled times.
No wonder there is a saying that it is better to be a peaceful dog than a person in troubled times.
But the more this happens, the more Zhu Youlang feels a strong sense of responsibility.
As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he had the responsibility to let the people live a good life.
The premise of all this is to regain the land that originally belonged to the Han family from the Qing Dynasty!
Everything starts from this battle!
"Get the bow!"
There is no more powerful proof than action, Zhu Youlang is a symbol.
As long as he does not retreat, the soldiers will not retreat!
After the Jinyiwei School Chief Jin Fei Bow was presented, Zhu Youlang bent his bow and aimed at a Qing army officer.
Take a deep breath to accumulate enough strength, Zhu Youlang Songxian.
The feather arrow broke through the air and hit the target steadily.
"Your Majesty's Shooting!"
The Ming army soldiers were excited and sincerely exclaimed.
"Everyone kills the enemy with me!"
Zhu Youlang shouted with his arms raised.
For a time, the Ming army was in great momentum, and they bent their bows and arrows to block the Qing soldiers.
...
...
The battle situation was in a stalemate for a while, which Zhao Butai didn't want to see.
The longer the stalemate, the more unfavorable it will be for the Qing army.
Their food and grass cannot withstand long-term consumption, and the Ming army is backed by a strong city, so there is as much food as possible.
"What do you think of General Pingxi?"
Zhao Butai turned his head and looked at Wu Sangui.
In fact, there are still many Qing army garrisons in Guizhou. If you give up your shame, you can first call the Jin and withdraw the troops and wait until Guizhou reinforcements arrive before siege the city.
During the waiting time, they could even rush to make some siege equipment such as siege hammers and chariots. When the Qing army in Guizhou came to the city of Kunming with cannons, it was time for them to join forces to attack.
No matter from which perspective, this is the most reasonable choice.
The only problem is that it is not very good-looking in terms of face.
Therefore, Zhao Butai threw the problem to Wu Sangui.
Wu Sangui secretly scolded Zhao Butai for being shameless.
This old dog knew that this was a bad choice, but he asked him to answer.
"Maybe you can take a look?"
After thinking for a long time, Wu Sangui came up with an answer that was not very responsible.
At this moment, a shell exploded beside Zhao Butai and immediately exploded Zhao Butai away.
In an instant, the soil flew and thick smoke rolled.
Wu Sangui was immediately shocked and it took a long time to react.
Logically speaking, their location is very far from Kunming City, so the Ming army artillery should not be able to be fired.
Several flag soldiers and slaves panicked and helped Zhao Butai, who was chewing the mud, up, but saw the general Zhengnan vomiting blood and dying.
Zhao Butai's personal guard was shocked when such a terrifying thing happened in an instant.
But Wu Sangui calmed down and said in a deep voice: "Don't you call the gold to withdraw your troops? If you continue to fight, will you delay the general Zhengnan's treatment of the wounded?"
He said this not because he was really worried about Zhao Butai's injury, but because he found a reason for retreating.
In fact, Wu Sangui had long wanted to withdraw his troops by chanting Jin.
This Kunming City seems to be a very difficult tough trick. They don’t bring any artillery and large-scale siege equipment are really underestimating the enemy.
The reason why they have never issued an order is that neither Wu Sangui nor Zhao Butai want to take responsibility.
After all, taking the initiative to withdraw is a not very nice order.
Now that Zhao Butai was injured by artillery bombing, Wu Sangui could put the blame on Zhao Butai, which not only preserved himself but also preserved the strength of the direct army.
This is crucial for his surrender.
He was able to gain his current status because he had an army that was quite capable of fighting.
Although this army has suffered losses at present, fortunately the losses are not too large, so it is a good idea to stop the losses in time.
The servants around Zhao Butai were hesitant when he saw Wu Sangui issue the order.
When a slave saw Zhao Butai muttering something, he quickly lay down and listened carefully.
After listening for a long time, he said loudly: "The general has an order, and immediately call the gold and withdraw the troops."
At this point, Wu Sangui finally breathed a sigh of relief.
...
...
"Your Majesty, the Eastern Cap has retreated!"
Mu Tianbo couldn't believe his eyes and said almost ecstatic.
Zhu Youlang looked in the direction pointed by Mu Tianbo and saw the Qing soldiers retreating like a tide.
"Is it time to withdraw?"
Of course he didn't know that the shot bombed Zhao Butai half-death. The Qing army was already in chaos and had no intention of fighting anymore.
Zhu Youlang felt a little disappointed and rushed to Mu Tianbo and said, "Duke Qian thinks he can take advantage of the situation and go out of the city to pursue him?"
Although he knew that this battle was unlikely to wipe out the enemy completely, Zhu Youlang still wanted to take as much damage as possible.
"I'm afraid that the Donglu would pretend to be defeated and lure our army out of the city."
Mu Tianbo has a mature and steadfast personality. When he saw the emperor ask him for advice, he answered instinctively.
"I think I should pursue it while I am winning."
Zhu Youlang later read many classic war examples, and after comparison, he found that the Qing army was now very panicked.
If all of this was performed, then the performance would be too realistic.
He really couldn't bear to let the Qing army go.
"What Your Majesty said is so good, you might as well send a partial army to pursue it. In this way, even if the Donglu pretends to be defeated, there will be no big losses."
Zhu Youlang also knew that he could not put his treasure on this opportunity, so he nodded and ordered: "Transfer my order and order Gongchang King Bai Wenxuan to lead his troops to attack."
Bai Wenxuan guarded the east gate, and chasing from the east gate is the most ideal.
With only one city gate opened, even if the Qing army pretends to be defeated, there will be no great risk.
After all, the emperor is the emperor, and every word he says is an imperial edict.
Even after Jinyi School went to the east of the city to issue an order.
Bai Wenxuan wanted to ask the King of Jin before, but seeing that the enemy was inclined to run away, he decided to open the city gate and pursue it immediately.
Before leaving the city, he told the deputy general to block the city gate immediately if he saw that the situation was wrong and not to worry about his safety.
Although the deputy general couldn't bear it, he knew that there was nothing he could do, so he nodded with his lip.
"The heroes eat meat from the barbarians in hunger, laugh at the thirst, drink the blood of the Huns. The boys, the opportunity to avenge the people who died tragically. Open the city gate and follow the general to kill the enemy!"
Bai Wenxuan, wearing bright armor, ordered with a domineering command.
