Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 159

At the end of the first lunar month, after more than ten days of fighting, Wu Sangui wiped out Long Kewang in Hanzhong Mansion.

After hearing the news, Li Taiping knew that he had to speed up.Under his command, the troops of the Fourth Battalion moved quickly.Now the fourth battalion has reached 2000 troops, and the five brigades of the headquarters are already fully staffed.And each of the two independent brigades has expanded to [-] people.It's just that the number of people has expanded, but the weapons are hard to keep up with. Many brigades only have a wooden stick.The one with real combat effectiveness is the brigade that Li Taiping kept but did not expand.

After receiving the order, the troops in each county quickly shipped the materials in the city, and then assembled in the direction of Yangshan.

When the members of the security regiment left, almost all valuable and useful things in the city were taken away.There are only empty warehouses and looted houses of big families left in the city.Thousands of heads of rebels and those whose homes were ransacked hang from the empty city, telling the world in the wind that this is a cruel and inhuman world.

When Wu Sangui led his troops to Xing'an Mansion to quell the chaos, he only saw clean cities that were almost looted.There was almost no one in the city.Because Li Taiping took almost everything away, seeing the security team leaving, people who were afraid that the Tartars would massacre the city and retaliate if they couldn't grab the things scattered into the countryside one after another.

Seeing such a scene, Wu Sangui became furious.In this chaotic world, soldiers are the lifeline, and what you rely on to raise soldiers is money and food!

This time he entered Xing'an Mansion to suppress the rebellion, Wu Sangui already regarded the money and goods in the whole mansion as his own.Now after entering Xing'an Mansion, what he got was empty cities, how could he appease the gang of Qiu Ba under his command?
After chasing after Hanyin, Ziyang, Ankang, and going to Xunyang and Pingli, Wu Sangui didn't see a single traitor.But after exploring the news and analyzing the passing traces of the brigade, Wu Sangui learned that the rebels had fled north.

"Chasing! None of these rebels will be let go!" Wu Sangui said through gritted teeth.

Knowing that all the goods that belonged to them were taken away by the rebels, these former Guanning cavalry were very annoyed.After receiving Wu Sangui's order, they all screamed, bloodthirsty light flashed in their eyes.

More than half of Wu Sangui's more than 1 horses were cavalry. After leaving the infantry behind, Wu Sangui personally led nearly [-] iron cavalry and rolled away towards the north.

At this time Li Taiping led the team to the boundary of Shangzhou.Because the time spent in Xing'an Prefecture was too short, and the team began to transfer immediately after the expansion, so these new recruits generally did not receive ideological education.There are even some members of the regiment who are very resistant to the security regiment leaving Xing'an Mansion.As a result, people fled along the way, which made the team unable to get up quickly.In addition, the severe cold weather caused many people to freeze to death on the way, which also greatly affected morale.

Seeing such a scene, Mei Renxin, the acting training officer of the Fourth Battalion, sighed.

"The time is too short. If I give me another two months, these people will be educated to be resolute fighters against the Tartars. At that time, no one will escape. But now, the ideological education is not deep, and we can only increase management strength."

As a result, deserters were killed every day, which made the morale of the army even more unstable.

"Battalion Commander, the situation is not good! The journey has been delayed for too long. I am afraid that the Tartars have already dispatched troops to Xing'an Mansion, and there may be pursuers coming from behind. Now our recruits are short of weapons, and they are pushing Property, as long as the Tartars come, we will be in danger." He Zhen, the captain of the Second Independent Brigade, said to Li Taiping.

Looking at the team of more than 2 people moving slowly on the road, Li Taiping felt more and more uneasy.He said to the surrounding subordinates.

"It seems that we should divide our troops, it will be safer. The troops will be divided into three groups. I will personally lead the first brigade to stay at the end, and the other two teams will be led by Mei Renxin with the fourth brigade, fifth brigade and the independent first brigade. Half of the supplies went directly northward to Yan'an Prefecture. The other team led by Yao Huaisheng with the second brigade, the third brigade, and the independent second brigade carried the other half of the supplies through Shanzhou, Shaanxi, and went northward. Finally, we were in Yichuan County, Yan'an Prefecture confluence."

"Battalion Commander, let me come to the rear!"

"Let me stay!"

Mei Renxin, Yao Huaisheng, Li Jiusheng and others shouted.Even the newly joined He Liang, He Zhen and Ren Zhen are the same.It's just that most of Li Taiping's old subordinates are sincere, while the newcomers just follow the trend.

"Okay! I am the battalion commander, I have the final say! You must follow the command in all actions!"

In the end, the huge team split into three and separated in Liangchahe Town.Li Taiping stayed behind with the first brigade, he was going to stop the Tartars' pursuit before leaving.

A day later, sure enough, the Tartars caught up.Just listening to this movement, it seems that there are quite a few Tartars chasing them.

When he saw the cavalry galloping in the distance, Li Taiping's face turned pale.He made a mistake in his estimation. Originally, he thought that the Tazi's pursuers would only be thousands of infantry, so that he could still resist.Unexpectedly, tens of thousands of cavalry came from the Tartars.How does this make me fight?The first brigade has less than 2000 people!

"Withdraw!" This thought crossed Li Taiping's mind.

It’s just that withdrawing is also very particular. If you run away in a swarm, everyone will be finished. Now you only have to sacrifice a small part in exchange for most of the survival.

Therefore, when the enemy was still a few miles away, Li Taiping left the No. [-] Squadron to defend the camp, and then ran away with the rest of the troops.

"Comrades! The survival of the large army and the prospect of Shaanxi's resistance to the Tartars depend on you." Li Taiping said before leaving.

At this time, Li Taiping's heart was also bleeding.The first brigade is the strongest in their own hands, the only one that has not been disbanded and reorganized.These regiments are the seeds of my future boss and squad leader!However, now more than [-] veterans in a squadron will be thrown away in vain.Li Taiping is very reluctant, but now it can only be like this.

After hearing Li Taiping's order, the regiments of the No. [-] Squadron fell silent.When they entered the security regiment, they were indoctrinated into the idea that obedience is the bounden duty of the regiment members.Only by obeying orders can we win battles and avenge the dead.Now, they also know that someone must make sacrifices at this time.Whether it's for the rest of the first brigade or for the two groups that left first.The [-]st Squadron had to stay in the rear.

Just because of Li Taiping's wrong decision, he had to leave a whole squadron before the battle.And this will continue. In order for the other two groups of people to safely transfer to Yan'an Mansion, he must drag this group of Tartars.

PS: The recommendation of the wireless potential list is over, and the results are mediocre, equivalent to twice the usual amount. Of course, the updated chapters are also twice the usual amount.Recently, there are two updates every day, and I feel that the whole person is not good, and my head is dizzy.Now, although I’m on the male radio channel’s wireless push and new book recommendations for classified novels, but because I’m too tired, I’ll update it every day.
