Chapter 788 Qing Army Retreat

The eastern front was just broken, but the western front was attacked by Liang army again.

Now the Liang army from the east and west routes are like a large pliers, which is about to block the road to retreat.

Many Qing generals in the hall were shocked to hear the bad news. Everyone was frightened and talked a lot. Some suggested that they immediately retreat, while others said that they would simply attack south and besiege Wei to save Zhao.

Haoge stood in the lobby with a dark face. He knew that as Liang Jun broke through from the east and west, the Qing court could no longer continue to transfer population and supplies, so what he should consider was how to escape.

Now that the Liang army is strong, even if he defeated Gao Mingheng in Xiangnan, once Gao Huan's troops arrive and the pass he retreats is occupied by the Liang army, he will be dead.

Therefore, there was no way to surround Wei and save Zhao, so I could only run away quickly.

Thinking of this, Haoge finally made up his mind, "Send the order, the army will set up camps and rush out before the Liang army seizes the pass!"

The Qing army generals had no objection to this order, but Oboi said: "Prince, what should I do with Gao Mingheng on the opposite side?"

Haoge glanced at the generals, and everyone hurriedly avoided his gaze. Haoge finally stared at Gao Dejie who was kneeling on the ground, "General Gao! You will be the one who will cut off the rear and redeem your sins!"

Gao Dejie was shocked in his heart, which made him leave to restrain Liang Jun.

Haoge frowned, "Is General Gao unwilling?"

Gao Dejie naturally didn't want to. Once Haoge retreated, Gao Mingheng would definitely take advantage of the situation to attack, so how could he stop it?

"Reporting to the Regent, it is not that the slave is unwilling to serve his master, but that the slave has just been defeated and the defeated generals may not be able to stop the Liang army and have missed the prince's affairs!" Gao Dejie said carefully.

Haoge waved his hand, "It's okay! I will allocate 10,000 green camps to you!"

"Prince! Slaves and weapons, all materials are lost..."

Before he could finish his words, Hauge said loudly: "Leave you enough food and weapons, and leave it to you as well as heavy artillery!"

Gao Dejie smashed his mouth, but his heart was bitter, and he knew that Haoge was determined to make him a cannon fodder.

"Slaves accept the order!" Gao Dejie could only accept the order.

Seeing that his morale was not high, Haoge immediately said in a deep voice: "I only need to take over for two days, and after two days, you can retreat. Then I will remember you a great achievement."

Haoge knew that the Green Camp soldiers were unreliable and was worried that Gao Dejie would run away again, so he suggested that he would just stay for two days.

He deserves to be unlucky. He is from Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou, not from Haoge.

Now Fulin and Bumubute win over Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui to compete with him. Haoge will not sacrifice Gao Dejie when necessary.

The military situation was urgent, and the Liang army advanced together, one east and the other west. For the Qing army, the occupation deteriorated rapidly. If they continued to stay in Nanpi, they could only be surrounded by the Liang army.

Haoge's original plan was to buy another half month for the Qing court to retreat, and to take the initiative to retreat before Gao Huan's army entered Shandong.

Now the roads to Hedong and the roads to Hedong may be seized by the Liang army, so he can only choose to break through.

At that moment, Haoge ordered the withdrawal of troops, and the Eight Banners troops immediately set off their camps. Oboi led 6,000 cavalry as the vanguard of the army and galloped northward.

Haoge left a high victory rate of more than 10,000 people to cut off the rear, and 70,000 to 80,000 Qing troops retreated overnight.

At this time, as soon as Haoge left, the green camp soldiers left immediately became panic, and the generals were anxious, saying that the Eight Banners soldiers had left, how could we stop the Liang soldiers? Many people immediately asked to break through and escape.

This made Gao Dejie anxious. He received Haoge's order to cut off the rear, so he said that Nanpi's defense was perfect and guarding for two days was not a problem.

Facing the generals of the Green Camp who were shaken by the army, Gao Dejie slapped the table and shouted loudly, "Just guard for two days. What do you do after two days? I don't care. But before that, if anyone is colluding with the enemy and escape in the battle, don't blame me, Lao Gao, for not asking for a meeting!"

The Green Camp generals reluctantly agreed, but in fact they were all disheartened. As soon as the meeting ended, someone defected to Liang Jun.

At this time, the news that Yuan Shizhong succeeded had already reached Gao Mingheng's camp. As the soldiers of the Green Camp opposite came out to surrender, Gao Mingheng learned about Haoge's escape north.

After hearing the report of the surrendered Qing army, Gao Mingheng immediately summoned the generals and shouted loudly: "Governor Yuan succeeded on the Eastern Front, Haoge retreated in panic! The soldiers, it's time for you to go into battle."

At the command of Gao Mingheng, Liang Jun, who was originally just rubbing at the door, finally got really good.

After Tang Tong, Jin Shenghuan and other generals came out of the Repent Lin, they had not made any military achievements. They raised their weapons and shouted loudly: "Brothers, it's time for the Qing army to see that we are powerful! Brothers! Come with me!"

The Liang army artillery team poured three rounds of artillery shells into the Qing army's positions, and tens of thousands of Liang army soldiers jumped out of the trenches at the call of the generals.

At this time, Tang Tong, Jin Shenghuan and other generals were all ahead and rushed to the forefront.

Life has fallen to the bottom and those who have received labor reform will seize it as long as they find a little opportunity to climb up, and will be more capable than the military academy student at the Imperial Mainland University.

The Liang soldiers, who had been holding on for a long time, picked up muskets and thrust their shaky guns, and had long been unable to hold back.

They jumped out of the trenches and charged amid the sound of extremely penetrating horns.

Gao Dejie trembled when he heard the Liang army's charge horn. When he saw the Liang army launching a charge of tsunamis all over the mountains and the mountains trembled slightly.

"Let's fire!" Gao Dejie ordered with a trembling voice.

The Qing army's artillery bombarded, the contrails were fired, the fronts were filled with smoke, and the projectiles roared out.

The Liang army rushed to the front in a row, but the Liang army behind did not retreat, but instead launched a more mad and even more crazier attack.

When the Green Camp soldiers saw the Liang army's fierce charge, they had never seen such a way of fighting. When they were nervous, they made frequent mistakes in loading. The green camp soldiers' sparse muskets and bows could not stop the Liang army's group charge all over the mountains.

When the Liang army rushed forward and crossed the trench, the Qing army inside either fled in a hurry or knelt on the ground, raised their weapons with both hands, and watched the mighty Liang army rush past.

"Military Gate! The Liang soldiers are fierce, and it will be too late if they don't leave!" A subordinate ran to Gao Dejie and was almost beaten to tears.

Gao Dejie looked back at the north. Hauge had just left for a long time. He gritted his teeth and shouted with red eyes, "Brothers, stay calm! Otherwise, the Qing Dynasty will be over!"

After speaking, he slashed the escaped Qing soldiers with one knife and commanded his subordinates to continue to resist, "Those who retreated will die!"

However, the Liang army attacked fiercely, and there were multiple gaps on the Qing army's front. The Liang army poured into the defense line and quickly divided and surrounded the Qing army's front.

Gao Dejie saw two Liang soldiers interspersed from both left and right directions, trying to surround him. He couldn't help but sigh, "It's not that the Green Camp brothers can't do it, it's that Liang Jun is too cunning."

Seeing Liang's attack getting closer and closer, Gao Dejie waved his knife and shouted: "Brothers, all captured by Liang thieves have to be renovated. Those who don't want to eat in prison will break through with me!"

Faced with the surging Liang army, the Green Camp soldiers could only flee northwest with Gao Dejie. The Liang army pursued them all the way, killing and injuring six or seven thousand prisoners, but Gao Dejie still managed to escape with a team of troops.

This is the Liang army's capture of Nanpi, the city and the positions outside the city, with blue smoke curling everywhere, and there is a mess everywhere.

"Supervisor! Gao Dejie ran away, but our troops have already conquered Nanpi!" Jin Shenghuan reported.

Gao Mingheng shouted: "Cleaning the wooden piles in the canal, removing the iron locks, and unblocking the canal. Don't stop the army and continue to advance north."
