Chapter 248: The Strength of the Wandering Army
The night was as deep as a black curtain.
It's the end of the hour, and the sky is slightly exposed to the white of the fish's belly, and it's about to dawn.
But today the sky is still a little cloudy, it seems to be raining, the north wind is a little cold, and the humidity is very uncomfortable.
The front camp position of the Left Army.
Hu Zhenwu, the general manager of Qian, who was under the command of the young marshal Zuo Mengeng, was leaning gloomily against a thick earthen wall and drinking alcohol.
He was twenty-five or sixteen years old, tall and well-proportioned, handsome, with calloused hands and extremely strong joints.
At first glance, he is a good practitioner!
Moreover, he came from a very good background, he was a descendant of the old army of Liaodong back then, his father had a lifelong friendship with the marshal Zuo Liangyu, and he was a big leader in the pro-military camp around Zuo Liangyu.
It's a pity that his father worked too hard in his early years, and he had some disabilities on his body, and his body was not very good when he was old, so he retired and retired in Xiangyang to live for a long time, and pushed him to the side of the young marshal Zuo Mengeng through means, and became Zuo Menggeng's henchman.
It is said that Hu Zhenwu is also young and ambitious, he has gone very smoothly all the way, and he has a foundation, and he will have a good future in the future.
But during this time, Hu Zhenwu was very unhappy, seriously unhappy, full of abuse, and couldn't hide it at all.
In the past few days, he has found an excuse to whip five unlucky people to death, and he has always had strong restraint and never drank alcohol, but at this time he is even more winekeged!
At this time, he was already a little drunk, and he had already drunk more than a dozen pots of wine.
But with a good physical foundation, he didn't really get drunk, and many things became more and more sober.
Leaning against the earthen wall, he looked resentfully in the direction of Xu Changqing's model army camp, and his fists clenched and creaked for a while!
But for a moment, he was a little weakly paralyzed, and leaned even harder against the earthen wall.
In fact, alcohol was not banned in the Ming army.
In fact, the military of China, including the whole world, did not prohibit alcohol before modern times, because the army often had to face bad weather, and wine could not only keep warm from the cold, but also prevent, alleviate, and even treat some diseases.
For example, some troops in extremely cold areas, if there is no wine, they will have to play in minutes.
Of course, like in the Left Army at this time, it is impossible for people who do not have a certain status to have alcohol.
'Gu Du Du' poured a few more big sips of wine, the wine surged again, Hu Zhenwu's eyes turned a little blood-red, and the hatred burst out unconcealed, and the big hand pinched the wine jug out of shape, and said coldly: "Xu Changqing, you @ #įįįå Ģįžå, Lao Tzu will break your body into thousands of pieces sooner or later, so as to relieve the hatred in his heart!! â
As he spoke, Hu Zhenhua's tears couldn't stop pouring out: "Miss, are you doing well?" The fowl with the surname Xu. Did the beast bully you? Miss, don't worry, I, Hu Zhenwu, swear to heaven that I will definitely save you from Xu Changqing's demon! No matter who it is, it will not stop me! â
After talking to himself for a while, he pressed against the earthen wall, and couldn't help but whimper, heartbroken.
About five years ago, he was transferred to Zuo Menggeng's side and became Zuo Menggeng's personal guard, and from this, he also saw Zuo Mengmei, who was only eleven or twelve years old, for the first time.
At that time, although Zuo Mengmei was still young, she had already become a beauty embryo.
The girl's pure innocence, coupled with the little charm that is revealed from time to time, makes Hu Zhenwu's originally simple world suddenly become colorful.
A few days later, he turned away what his parents told him, the daughter of a big family in Xiangyang, and all his energy and thoughts fell on Zuo Mengmei.
Although there is no commitment between the two, and they haven't even really spoken a few times, Hu Zhenwu is extremely happy, and he has been working hard, trying to earn merits, improve his status, and wait for Zuo Mengmei to grow up.
Finally, five years have passed, and with his efforts, he was officially promoted to the head of Qian, and became Zuo Mengeng's right-hand man, with a bright future, and he is already qualified to be worthy of Zuo Mengmei, and he is preparing to propose to the Zuo family with reluctance.
However!
I never thought that a thunderbolt would come on a sunny day!
The Zuo family, I don't know what deal I have with that Xu Changqing, but I actually gave Xu Changqing, a young lady who had been carefully cared for for five years!
When Hu Zhenwu heard the news for the first time, he was simply stunned, and the world was about to explode.
He went to Zuo Mengeng to theorize, hoping that Zuo Mengeng could give him an explanation, but what he ushered in was only cold.
He wanted to go to the handsome Zuo Liangyu to seek justice, but in the end, he couldn't muster up the courage at all......
At this time, when I thought of the young lady who was as graceful as a fairy, she actually wanted to go to Xu Changqing's despicable villain's room, and then, under Xu Changqing's body......
Hu Zhenwu is really going to explode!
How unfair the heavens are!
Why did you treat him like this, Hu Zhenwu?
"Ahem......"
Just as he was tyrannical, Hu Zhenwu suddenly faintly smelled some not very good smells, and coughed one after another.
Hu Zhenwu didn't take it seriously for a while, still immersed in his pain.
After a while, Hu Zhenwu suddenly heard more and more coughing sounds around him, and his instinctive vigilance made him wake up all of a sudden, and he was busy getting up to check the situation.
Although he was unhappy with Xu Changqing, after all, this battle was very important, and Hu Zhenwu dared to scold Xu Changqing here, so that he could really go to Xu Changqing, who had already shocked the world, to trouble, how could he have the courage?
But at this time, Hu Zhenwu had already drunk too much, and these not very pleasant smells were obviously wrong, and he had a splitting headache just when he remembered it, and he fell down all of a sudden.
"Not good!"
"Something is wrong with these smokes, it seems to be artificial! Everyone, hurry up! â
At this time, an officer nearby finally reacted and shouted.
Hu Zhenwu was suddenly clever, and he didn't dare to think about anything else, there happened to be a basin of water not far from him, he directly picked up the basin and poured it from the head to the bottom, the cold coolness made him sober up instantly.
Hurriedly mentioned climbing the earthen wall to check.
But for a moment, Hu Zhenwu was a little confused!
I saw that in the direction of the camp of the Displaced People's Army in the north, countless black and gray smoke was billowing towards them, mixed with an indescribable stench, which made people dizzy and disgusting when they smelled it.
Hu Zhenwu is an old soldier, and he reacted instantly, this is the means of the exile army, and immediately shouted: "Enemy attack!" Enemy attack! Go and report to the commander, the thief has moved! â
But at this time, with the influx of a large amount of smoke, the left army has begun to be chaotic, coughing and scolding everywhere, even if the sky has begun to brighten, the visibility is still not high, Hu Zhenwu was not particularly conscious, and he couldn't find his own soldiers for a while, so he could only stand on the earthen wall and shout desperately.
It's a pity that the scene was too chaotic and no one paid attention to him at all.
"Haha, the dog officer army is no longer good, brothers, glory and wealth, right in front of you, rush!"
"Rush, hahaha, kill all the dog officers and soldiers!"
"Rush, ......"
Not long after, there was a sudden fierce shouting and killing sound from the front, and the wandering army did not know when, but it had actually filled in the fortification group in front of the left army and killed it directly in front of them.
Hu Zhenwu originally wanted to guard the position and gather the people around him, but the momentum of the Liumin Army was much more fierce than he imagined, and in a moment, countless figures had already rushed in, and sometimes there were all kinds of firearms chirping.
In the confusion, a bullet that didn't know whether it was aimed or missed, actually fell onto Hu Zhenwu's breastplate.
Fortunately, he has always retained the habit of armor-piercing, and the quality of the firearms of the Wandering Army is also a little flawed, otherwise, he would have finished playing just now.
Hu Zhenwu didn't have time to take care of anything else, so he picked up his waist knife and ran back, shouting and beckoning the people around him to resist.
But who still has the heart to resist at this time? I only hated my father and mother for giving birth to two legs, so I ran backwards desperately.
The situation has begun to spiral out of control.
When the news reached Zuo Liangyu, who was still a little sleepy-eyed, the Wandering Army had already conquered the outpost of the Zuo Army, and there were countless figures frantically killing this side in the follow-up.
Zuo Liangyu can still take care of the alliance with Xu Changqing at this time? scolded a few words, and directly called for the retreat of the pro-military camp.
As Zuo Liangyu began to run away, the situation completely collapsed!
In just ten minutes, the old battalion soldiers and cannon fodder of the Wandering Army crossed and had already entered Zhuxian Town.
The left armies of the various divisions are like headless flies, how can they organize resistance at this time? It's just that each of them desperately beckons people to run away.
However, behind Zhu Xianzhen was the Shahe River, and at this time, their boats were simply not enough, so they could only quickly break through to the east and west.
This fear soon spread to Yang Wenyue's department.
Yang Wenyue was in the rear of the Western Front at this time, and he didn't know what was going on at all, thinking that the Ming army had been defeated, so he hurriedly called for his men to run away desperately.
For a time, the entire Zhuxian Town area completely became a hell on earth.
Many soldiers were in a panic and couldn't distinguish anything else, so they chose to jump into the river and flee for their lives.
But the Sand River seems to be calm, but there is an undercurrent inside, and soon countless people are directly swept over by the river and washed down.
âĻâĻ
Eastern Front, Mass Grave Model Army Position.
Xu Changqing received the news at the second time, after the Wandering Army had entered the outpost of the Left Army.
The main thing is that the Wandering Army also concocted a lot of smoke in front of Xu Changqing's position, and although the guards did not slack off, they did not react at the first time, thinking that it was foggy.
By the time they felt that the smoke was a little uncomfortable and reacted, the sound of rushing in the direction of Zhu Xianzhen was already resounding.
By this time, the sky was already bright, and the smoke had already been blown away by the wind.
On the high platform of the mass grave post, looking at the left troops of the various divisions fleeing in chaos, Xu Changqing's face was gloomy as if he was about to drip water!
Even if the homeless army behaves strangely and takes the lead, but you don't even resist and run away, what is this called?
The key is the current state, the momentum of the Wandering Army has been achieved, the left army has been broken through, the camp has been lost, and Xu Changqing has no choice but to rescue even if he wants to.
Not long after, Xu Changqing saw with his own eyes that the dock camp he had built here was seized by the left army, and countless people grabbed boats and went to the other side.
But the killing of the displaced people has not stopped.
The hideous and twisted faces, like devils, frantically rushed to kill the left army, leaving corpses everywhere.
However, the Wandering People's Army also had a better memory at this time, knowing that Xu Changqing's firearms were extremely powerful, and if there were deserters from the Left Army who ran around the position of the Model Army, they would no longer pursue and kill, but would go after and kill elsewhere.
It also made the vicinity of the model army's position soon increase in the number of thousands of fleeing left troops.
They wailed and howled one by one, hiding in the trenches of the model army, crying and begging Xu Changqing to pull them and let them go to the camp to hide.
Hu Zhenwu was also among them at this time, constantly inciting the rout around him.
At this time, they are finished, Xu Changqing is actually fine here, even if he can't get Xu Changqing, Hu Zhenwu will definitely not be able to make Xu Changqing feel better.
How could Xu Changqing pay attention to them at this time? Directly order, let them be quiet, temporarily hide, whoever dares to make noise again, shoot and kill!
As many sons and daughters continued to shout Xu Changqing's orders, the bird soldiers directly began to shoot the disobedient people, and the gang finally quieted down.
At this time, they also found that hiding in Xu Changqing's trench, these homeless troops did not dare to attack, and they were safe for the time being.
Hu Zhenwu didn't expect Xu Changqing to dare to kill, and most of the alcohol dissipated in an instant, and he didn't dare to play a moth anymore, so he was honest.
And here, Chu Xue and Zuo Mengmei quickly rushed to the high platform, but as soon as they saw the scene in front of them, the two girls subconsciously covered their mouths tightly, and they didn't dare to breathe anymore.
