Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

Seeing Cao Ying start to flee, Hui Dengxiang and Wang Guangen certainly followed suit. It was very convenient and quick for the two battalions to go from the forward state to the retreat, just turn around.

Even so, the flag and the golden drum were lost all over the place, and many people fled while shouting defeated.

Many officers are hiding in the corner, looking at the officers and soldiers with vigilant eyes... They are holding bags of gold, silver, silk and satin in their hands. If the chariots start chasing them, their task is to Throw out the soft ones.

Tens of thousands of people fled all over the mountains and plains. At the beginning, there was order. The cavalry was first, women and children were in the middle, and then it became chaotic. There were messy crowds everywhere, and there were discarded flags and large items, tents, and cooking utensils everywhere. , shovels and pots, and later began to lose weapons.

As long as it is light and convenient to walk on the mountain road, it doesn't matter if you lose everything. [

At the beginning, the generals were still suppressing, but later they simply ignored them. Everyone seemed to be on a boat, surrounded by crowds.Many people have a look of indifference... This kind of scene has been experienced too many times.

"Today's defeat, I'm afraid it won't be long before we run rampant in the world."

After a few meetings with Wang Guangen, both of them saw the embarrassment on their faces, Luo Rucai looked gloomy and said with a gloomy expression: "There are Dengzhou soldiers and General Zhenglu here, we no longer have the capital to bargain with the imperial court. gone."

"It's really bad luck, where did you get this killing star!"

"I heard that the imperial court intends to fight a big battle against the eastern captives. Maybe they will send General Zhenglu and Dengzhou Town to the north?"

"Fucking hell, if this killer is really gone, no matter whether he goes to fight the Eastern captives or not, I will go to Wudang Mountain and give [-] catties of lamp oil to Emperor Zhenwu!"

"Haha."

It was Prime Minister Huideng who spoke, and Jigui laughed when he said a word. Prime Minister Huideng was bumping and uncomfortable on the horse, and he was fleeing again. He was in a bad mood. Although Jigui was a military adviser, he was not polite , said coldly: "Ji Ziyu, what do you mean..."

Before he finished speaking, Ji Gui said: "Hui Shuai, I'm just kidding that you are going to pay [-] catties of lamp oil."

"How do you say that?"

"The more I think about this battle, the more certain I am in my heart." Jigui looked calm, watching the movement of the west camp that was getting farther and farther away, and only said in his mouth: "Let's go to the camp first. He deliberately drove us away again. General Shaobao is here to save us energy. If they send hundreds of cavalry with self-generated guns, and keep more elite soldiers, the West Camp will not be able to withstand it. Here we are , and more than half of the people have to be left. Now it seems that the result is the best."

Having said that, everyone felt suddenly enlightened.

Although there were many dead in that battle just now, and the battle was extremely miserable, the officers and soldiers did not pursue them, and they did not even make preparations for the pursuit in advance. They just let the battalions escape. Otherwise, how many more people would have died in such a messy scene? Can you escape?

Everyone is an old man, this truth, a little bit of Ji Gui, everyone will wake up!

"That's right, Zhenglu wanted to let us go."

"Haha, we all stepped on shit and got lucky."

Luo Rucai also wiped the sweat from his forehead... This time, if Zhang Shouren uses the main force to deal with him, he feels extremely pessimistic about whether he can escape and how many people he can bring.

"It seems that Zhenglu wants to use the trick of raising the bandits to respect himself?"

"Yes, what Hui Shuai said is true." Ji Gui said with a smile: "The court's attention is nothing more than Xiying and our Cao Ying, as well as Gezuo Fifth Battalion and Li Shuai's intrusion into the camp. The entire battalion has been overthrown, and now there are only more than 1000 soldiers in the inner battalion. Without our restraint, it will not be able to develop. There is no bandit in the world, so can the court still be polite to the generals?"[

"Well, well, that's the reason!"

In fact, the literati and bureaucrats between Chongzhen and the ruling and opposition parties were far more vigilant against thieves and bandits than Manchuria at that time. Even if Huang Taiji established the title of the Qing Dynasty, conferred the title of kings, and proclaimed himself emperor, in the eyes of many people, it was still a minor problem. Side troubles are nothing to worry about.But thieves roam around in the heart of the country, killing officials and rebelling, and have a faint ambition to seize the country, this is the biggest problem.

This kind of understanding has not changed after the Qing soldiers defeated Li Zicheng and entered Beijing. It has to be said that this is a great tragedy.

If Zhang Shouren really wiped out all the battalions now, it would be difficult for Li Zicheng to develop, and the bandits would be wiped out or subdued, and the good days of the generals would come to an end immediately.

Not to mention him, even a veteran general like Zuo Liangyu will never end well.

Both the emperor and the civil servants have endured the military generals for a long time, but because the bandits are still alive, they can only endure it.

This kind of words can't be said in the mouth, even to the people in the staff office, but I didn't expect that among the thieves, there is a confidant like Ji Gui.

"Then what should we do?"

Luo Rucai originally intended to call for peace, but now he heard these words, he was refreshed.

"Zhang Zhenglu and Dengzhou Town will definitely leave. Even if they stay here, they will not be able to work hard. So we don't need to be afraid. In my opinion, we will take shelter for a while, recuperate and restore the morale of the army, and find time to fight with poor and weak officers and soldiers. Huguang Xunyang is thousands of miles away from Guanghan Town and Sichuan, and you can go anywhere, why should a man go to Zhaoan, urge his eyebrows to bow down, and serve those dog officials!"

"Okay, well said!"

"I love to hear Mr. Ji's words!"

A group of people are used to being wild and comfortable. For more than a year, they have been recruiting in Huguang area. They have to please the officials every day, and they can't do some things. Everyone can't stand it anymore.

Now that they don't need to recruit An to surrender, they are very happy because of their nature.

After Ji Guiyi's analysis, everyone's minds became brighter, and their moods were much better. Seeing that the mountain road is rough and difficult, it is not so unpleasant. Now they talk about it, and they actually start talking and laughing.

Luo Rucai looked at a gap, and quietly said to Jigui: "Ziyu, let's not cause trouble for the time being, why do you still talk about fighting with officers and soldiers?"

"Marshal, you can't let go of your anger."

Ji Gui smiled and said: "Now Hui Shuai and Wang Shuai have regarded the commander as the main one, can't you see it?"

"This... these two dog days have such a meaning."

"Once the respect is over, you will be the most prestigious commander in the Huguang area. It doesn't matter if you have friendship with Ge Zuo Wuying. If you win a few battles, your reputation will increase?"

"Go up, do you want officers and soldiers to suppress it?"

"Marshal!" Ji Gui said sternly: "I'm not talking nonsense, the great tomorrow is already rotten at the root, the pro-vassal clan, the rich and powerful gentry, the court can't control it at all, coupled with the wars these years, the arrogant soldiers No matter how difficult it is to control generals, you can see what Zhenglu is doing now. Since the world will be in chaos, just like in the late Tang Dynasty, who knows who will win the country? It is also good to create a piece of heaven and earth and separate one side." [

"Not bad, not bad." Luo Rucai was convinced by Jigui, and said with a smile: "If I can pass on the three generations of my descendants, I will earn money. Damn it, my eighteen generations of ancestors have been digging food from the ground, and eight petals of sweat have been thrown to serve others. , it should be someone else's turn to serve our old Luo's family."

"The commander-in-chief said so."

"Then, what about Jingxuan?"

Ji Gui let out a long sigh, and said with a sad expression: "Can't the commander see it? The arrangement of the conscripts is all going to the west camp. I'm afraid the commander-in-chief is in danger."

……

……

Zhang Xianzhong was quite calm at the beginning of the war, and at the height of the stockade halfway up the mountain, he drank and joked, his voice was very loud, and he laughed very happily and calmly.

But when he saw that the sweeping king was knocked off his horse by a gunfire, he was already moved by it, and his expression was also very ugly.

This old man has been with him for many years, and he doesn't want to die in such a useless battle!

When he saw Cao Ying being beaten so miserable, Zhang Xianzhong seemed to be able to burst into flames in his eyes.

He fought countless times with officers and soldiers. It was really the first time he saw such a sharp firearm, and it was also the first time he saw a gunslinger who dared to charge and fight hand-to-hand!

"Cao Cao left like a dog!"

"Luo Rucai, you are really nothing!"

When the old people in Xiying saw Cao Ying running away in a mess, they couldn't help but cursed one by one.When Zhang Xianzhong saw Cao Ying's retreat, he couldn't help pulling out a few of his beards with a shaking hand, feeling very painful, but at this moment he had calmed down, and said in a relaxed and humorous tone: "Brother Luo is like this, Liuli Monkey Same, the next time I see him, tell him to buy wine for ten days and sing a big show for ten days to make amends for Lao Tzu, that’s all.”

Seeing that Zhang Xianzhong didn't say too much, Xu Yixian felt a little more relaxed.

Cao Cao's departure is of course a very abominable thing, but Xu Yixian felt that Xiying would leave as well because he was in a different place. If this is the case, why bother to swear here, ruin his loyalty, and give up his words in vain.

But he also knew in his heart that today's Xiying was more than auspicious, so he immediately winked at Zhang Nengqi, who was standing with his sword on his face, his face flushed red, signaling him to go get ready.

Zhang Nengqi was very unwilling. As a general, he didn't want to run away like this now.

"Neng Qi, don't try to be brave..."

Xu Yixian reprimanded him with a sullen face, but Zhang Nengqi's eyes were already fixed on the foot of the mountain.

Now the main force of the officers and soldiers has broken into the main camp, and everyone can see that these officers and soldiers are all elites.The musketeers were all wearing short armor and bayonets on their shoulders. They lined up while marching. Every time they saw the Xiying rally to resist, a round of muskets would hit them and overturn them.

During the pursuit, they used bayonets and cooperated with the spearmen to stab and provoke, causing the Xiying soldiers to be defeated all the time, which was miserable.

From the gate of the camp to the camp, the officers and soldiers have already entered. The corpses of the loyal and brave soldiers of the West Camp are everywhere on the battlefield. Seeing such a situation, everyone has tears in their eyes. This battle was fought too much. Crap!

"Military division, look, it was Brother Kewang who rushed over with the people himself!"

Now the officers and soldiers are regrouping, and they have entered such a long distance in one go, and the army formation is also a bit scattered. Rows of pikemen and musketeers are forming formation. If the formation is completed again, there will be no chance.

Zhang Kewang may also have seen this, and has assembled more than [-] cavalry, ready to charge and kill.
