Chapter 1124: Attacking Ming Army (4)
Zhong Zhen smiled bitterly. Now he did not even have the strength to commit suicide. Min Ruoxi's punch directly knocked his true energy to no end. The bones in his body were broken. Even the Dantian, which martial arts practitioners valued the most, was not broken, but it was covered with cracks. He was already a useless person. Wang Lingbo was worried that he had committed suicide after he had the strength. He was worried that he had already noticed his own situation?
Heal himself? Zhong Zhenquan regarded it as a joke. If he could cure such injuries, then he would not be a miracle doctor or a god.
He is not thinking about himself now, but the entire Qin army.
The Ming army from the brigade had already flown over here on Xiushui Bridge. In the past two days, the injured people who were lying with Zhong Zhen in this big house for treatment were of course the Ming army. When they talked happily about these things, they did not shy away from him at all. Perhaps in their eyes, Zhong Zhen was no different from a dead person.
He Weiping led the Second Battalion of the Hulao New Army, and Zou Zheng's Baoqing Camp also came. In addition, Su Xingyi, who was originally here, the Ming army had already gathered 15,000 people here.
Now Zhong Zhen has a more intuitive understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Ming army. When Su Xingyi's new fifth battalion breaks through his camp and annihilates his army, it can be described as destroying the enemy. Then, He Weiping's new second battalion will definitely not be bad, because He Weiping is the commander of the Hulao New Army, and the new second battalion is his direct guard.
As for Baoqing Camp, is it more than anything else? It was one of the earliest troops established by the Ming army. With the rise of the Ming Dynasty, it fought countless tough battles. Its strength is only stronger than that of the Hulao New Army. This can be seen from their 500-man sentry, which makes it lose all the troops on the edge of the Xiushui River Bridge.
Even if these 5,000 people faced all the front troops of General Shangyuan Yiqiu, they would not lose.
By the way, there is also the Fire Death Camp. The two thousand cavalrymen were the personal guards of the Ming emperor.
The main forces of the Ming army suddenly appeared on the Xiushui River Bridge. What was the situation in the area they were defending? Zhong Zhen suddenly thought of this problem.
Then the cold sweat came down.
What should General Yuan do now? Should he continue moving forward, hold his troops still, or retreat?
In an instant, several plans came from Zhong Zhen’s mind, but they were denied one by one by him. No matter what, it seemed that it was not a good idea.
How are the left and right wings now? If both wings still have the power to fight, if they can still connect with General Yuan, then this war will still be possible. In the worst case, you can slowly retreat.
This may be the best result.
Can it be connected?
Can you still connect?
All morning, this question was entangled with Zhong Zhen. Until noon, when Wang Lingbo came to check his injuries, Zhong Zhen finally couldn't help asking this question. Ordinary soldiers could not know about this. This can be heard from the issues they usually discuss here. They were only limited to the war on the Xiushui River. But Wang Lingbo must have known that this is not an ordinary military doctor.
"Are you asking Nian Chunfeng and An Zishan?" Wang Lingbo looked at Zhong Zhen and laughed strangely. He did not directly answer this question, but said: "His Majesty the Emperor is in Wanxian now."
After hearing this, Zhong Zhen was completely disappointed, closed his eyes and stopped talking.
Nian Chunfeng and An Zishan must be over. Now I just hope that General Yuan Yiqiu will not cross the river, but will retreat and retreat immediately.
Yuan Yiqiu has not yet fully understood the state of the entire battlefield. Baoqing Camp and Hulao New Army New Second Battalion suddenly ran away from his front without a trace. The forced crusade site, which was originally full of death and wounded, is now only one place left with residue, countless lives, but it is a place that cannot be crossed the river. Now it is placed in front of him empty and can only walk through, but he dare not step over at will.
He didn't know the situation in Wanxian. All the scouts sent to that direction had gone and never returned. The connection between him and Wanxian had been interrupted for seven or eight days, which was not a good thing. Such a situation could only show one thing: in Wanxian, the Ming army occupied an absolute initiative, and the Ming army's scouts controlled the entire battlefield and blocked all the information that could be revealed.
He could only take the initiative to make a decision. He led 30,000 people to move closer to Wanxian. Deputy General Jin Shoude led 10,000 people to meet with Zhongzhen, and then to Anzishan in Jingxian.
He decided to give up the large battlefield in the middle and directly strengthen the power of the left and right wings.
After a moment of determination, he naturally acted quickly. Jin Shoude and his 10,000 people immediately moved towards the Xiushui River Bridge.
This time, Kim Shoude soon received the information.
His scout brought news about the Xiushui River Bridge, which was naturally not good news.
The entire army of Zhong Zhen was destroyed.
Jin Shoude immediately sat down. What should he do now? Continue to go forward to Jingxian to meet An Zishan? Then he will break through the Ming army in front of him. Without the point of Zhongzhen, the Ming army will now be between him and An Zishan.
If he was very confident when he set out from Yongdu, he led 10,000 troops to the battlefield, but now he has no confidence. Zhong Zhen is a general who brought back from the Luoying Mountains. The two are not only the subordinates of their superiors and subordinates, but also their private good friends. Zhong Zhen is not an incompetent person, ten thousand people. After only a few days of persistence, the entire army was destroyed.
Jin Shoude didn't hold on for long. When his scouts found that the red flag of the Fire Death Camp appeared in front of them, he had already led the entire army to retreat.
Now, holding all the powers together can all play their roles.
When he returned to Yuan Yiqiu's camp, Yuan Yiqiu's main force was preparing to cross the river and set out for Wanxian. Jin Shoude's return brought all this to an abrupt end.
Whether to cross the river or not has become a big problem facing Yuan Yiqiu.
"General, I'm afraid that Wanxian Nian Chunfeng and Jingxian Anzishan are not good." Jin Shoude said with some difficulty. "The only ones who appeared in front of us were He Weiping's new second camp, Su Xingyi's new fifth camp and Zou Zheng's Baoqing camp. Their main force did not appear."
"I know!" Yuan Yiqiu said in a heavy mood. "I think about it, and I have to think about it."
The 40,000 army paused by the Xiushui River, whether to advance or retreat, from top to bottom, and now they are in trouble.
Advance, may enter the trap, and retreat means that this vigorous battle will end here. Next, they will face the endless pursuit of the Ming army. This retreat will not stop until the retreat is back?
Advance is not an easy task, but retreating is even more difficult. If you are not careful, retreating will turn into a retreat. For Qin, which finally gathers its current strength, it is probably a major disaster.
Yuan Yiqiu had to be careful.
Jin Shoude dared not make any suggestions.
All the hesitation was broken in the second half of the night of this day. Jin Shoude was unable to sleep in the first half of the night, and just got confused in the second half of the night when he was woken up by his personal soldiers.
Yuan Yiqiu wants to see him.
Jin Shoude immediately knew something was wrong. When he stepped into Yuan Yiqiu's tent, he seemed to be in a bad state when he saw Yuan Yiqiu.
"How is the situation now?" he asked.
Yuan Yiqiu raised his head, looked at Jin Shoude, and said bitterly: "We can't find out effective information in Wanxian, but the people I sent to Xintong County earlier have returned."
After a moment of pause, he continued: "As early as ten days ago, the Ming army's Zhuifeng Camp and the Hulao New Army's First Battalion led by Yang Zhi wiped out the 25,000 infantry and cavalry gathered in Xintong by Chen Tong and Cai Qiang."
Jin Shoude's body shook, and his face turned pale.
The loss of Xintong means that Nian Chunfeng's flanks were completely exposed to the attack of the Ming army. These things happened ten days ago. So now, does Nian Chunfeng still exist?
"Wanxian, I can't go! I'm afraid that Mingren has set up a trap and is waiting for us." He said tremblingly.
"Wanxian cannot go, but we cannot retreat either." Yuan Yiqiu said bitterly, "Once we retreat, the Ming army will inevitably chase after him, which will also stick to His Majesty's army."
"Your Majesty has 50,000 Thunder Army, and you can still fight!" Jin Shoudedao.
Yuan Yiqiu shook his head, "The Thunder Army may be able to fight! Then what?"
Jin Shoude was stunned and did not make any sound.
"I have written an urgent memorial. Please ask Your Majesty to lead 50,000 Thunder Army back to Yongdu immediately." Yuan Yiqiu looked at Jin Shoude, "At the same time, please ask Your Majesty to immediately make Bian Wushuang the king, and summon the troops under Bian Wushuang to enter the capital to serve the king."
"Where are us?" Jin Shoude asked.
Yuan Yiqiu stood up, "General Jin, it's time for us to be loyal to the Qin Dynasty. I have decided that tomorrow the whole army will cross the river. We will not go to Wanxian or Jingxian, and we will go straight to Huzhu."
"General, the Ming army opened the door so much that we hoped we could go in. If Nian Chunfeng and An Zishan were gone, and we would cross the river like this, we would fall into the trap. Next, the Ming army surrounded us all over." Jin Shoude looked at Yuan Yiqiu in shock. He didn't believe that Yuan Yiqiu would not see through such obvious things.
"Of course I know!" Yuan Yiqiu said lightly: "General Jin, do you still remember the battle between Chu and Qi last year? Did Chu generals An Ruhai and Jiang Tao do it themselves?"
Jin Shoude sighed to the sky, how could he not know about these two people? In order to force the Qi army, they committed suicide and forced the Qi army to launch an unprepared general attack in advance. In the end, Min Ruoying escaped with the Huofeng Army. At that time, as a classic strategic action, these senior generals had discussed it.
Tactically speaking, such actions were completely stupid, but strategically speaking, they succeeded. They successfully defeated the Qi people's intention to encircle and annihilate all the main forces of Min Ruoying in one fell swoop, allowing Min Ruoying to escape with the most powerful Fire Phoenix Army, retaining the spark for Chu.
It was only a year before it was their turn.
