Chapter 191: Evacuation of Guilin City

How long the people below can last, Qu Shiyun doesn't know.

It can be said that it can persist to this point, which is already unexpected by Qu Shiyun.

At this moment, he even had a feeling that Yongli's quick escape might be a good thing. There is no other reason.

The Ming Dynasty has already lost three emperors, Hongguang, Longwu, and Shaowu. There can be no more loss of the fourth. As for Qu Shiyun himself, he had no time to think about it. He put all his mind on the battle situation, and tried his best to hold on for a while longer.

But he soon felt something unusual.

Zhang Xuan's behavior was abnormal.

Qu Shiyun and Zhang Xuan were in close contact with each other, and they understood each other's situation best. Zhang Xuan originally intended to spread his wings, but he suddenly changed his course, which made him puzzled.

"Your Excellency. Yue Guogong arrived. A servant came rushing and said beside Qu Shiyun.

Qu Shiyun was overjoyed when he heard this, at this moment, the gap between him and Liu Chengyin was no longer a thing. As long as Liu Chengyin can come, this Guilin City can be saved. In fact, Qu Shiyun could have discovered Liu Chengyin earlier, but the troops in Qu Shiyun's hands were insufficient, and he couldn't wait to put everyone who could fight in the battle array, which greatly reduced the number of scouts sent abroad.

Because of this, Zhang Xuan discovered Liu Chengyin's traces before Qu Shiyun.

If it weren't for Liu Chengyin's forward, he would have arrived under the city of Guilin. Qu Shiyun is also slower to react.

Qu Shiyun immediately ordered and ordered the soldiers on the left and right to shout: "The Duke of Yue Guo has arrived." ”

"The Duke of Yue Guo has arrived."

The sound of shouts resounded throughout the southern city of Guilin.

For a while, the soldiers who were originally demoralized and were about to collapse cheered up one by one.

When Hao Shaoqi heard this voice, he was stunned in his heart, and immediately said, "Withdraw." ”

Hao Shaoqi knew that if he didn't withdraw, he wouldn't be able to withdraw.

Just when Hao Shao ordered the retreat, Qu Shiyun also figured it out and said secretly: "It's not good, Zhang Xuan wants to run." ”

He immediately urged the divisions to pursue.

But how can they catch up, the various departments have long been exhausted after a day of fighting, and the losses of Qu Shiyun's headquarters are too great, and the rest of the departments are all sidelined, and no one is willing to take risks to pursue at this time.

First, they didn't expect Zhang Xuan to retreat this time, and secondly, when they wanted to come, even if they retreated, they must have arranged for the descendants to be cut off. Therefore, the first one to chase it out is estimated to have suffered heavy losses. didn't want to come out, so no one came out.

After a while, under the supervision of Qu Shiyun, a team of men and horses was sent to pursue.

Hao Shaoqi walked at the back of the queue.

When he retreated urgently, even though he made a lot of arrangements, he still landed dozens of soldiers in the south of Guilin

, but at the moment, I can't take care of them all night.

"General Hao, you're here."

Hao Shaoqi saw the south gate from a distance, and the horse three treasures on the south gate.

Ma Sanbao said: "General Hao, hurry up and get out of the city." After I broke off for General Hao, the general was waiting for you on the Ningyuan Bridge. ”

Hao Shaoqi agreed and took the lead out of the city.

After leaving the city, he saw Zhang Xuan riding a horse on the Ningyuan Bridge from a distance, and he hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said, "The last general will see the general." ”

"Okay, okay." Zhang Xuan turned over and dismounted, helped Hao Shaoqi up and said: "It's good that General Hao is back, today's battle of Guilin, I returned in vain." But it's not without gain, my harvest is General Hao, and today I know General Hao's bravery. Unparalleled in the world. ”

Hao Shaoqi said: "The general has passed the award, and it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time." The general should go first. ”

Zhang Xuan said, "Okay, let's go." ”

Immediately, Zhang Xuan turned the horse's head and asked his entourage to bring a horse to Hao Shaoqi. Hao Shaoqi turned over on his horse, suddenly looked at the back, and said, "Don't wait for General Ma?" ”

Zhang Xuan said: "I won't give up on anyone, but Sanbao will give Ming Jun a surprise." I hope Mr. Qu can like it. ”

At this time, Zhang Xuan's mood also calmed down.

Zhang Xuan has fought a lot of large and small wars from the fourteenth year of Chongzhen to the present. The city government has already been exercised. Even though he couldn't control himself at that time, this period of time was enough for Zhang Xuan to adjust his emotions. Even so, Zhang Xuan still had a sense of injustice in his heart.

Since the southern expedition, he Zhang Xuan has been the attacker, the attacker is subdued, and he has few opponents in the south. It's just that today in front of Guilin City, I had to return with a feather. Only when he can calmly accept it in his heart can he be considered a ghost.

Therefore, there is Ma Sanbao's hand arrangement.

When leaving, you have to give Qu Shiyun a ruthless one.

At this moment, Ma Sanbao had already arranged it, just waiting for the Ming army to rush over.

Ma Sanbao watched the black pressed people rush over and said, "Brothers, let's go." ”

Then he followed the last few dozen people, followed the ladder down the tower, and headed south. Soon after they left, a roaring sound came, and for a moment there was a feeling that the earth was shaking. Ma Sanbao's ears were also buzzing. When I looked back, I saw that Ningyuan Gate was in a mess, with rubble flying around, barely maintaining the appearance of a city gate. The worst big banyan tree was blown up, and many places caught fire.

Ma Sanbao estimated that the banyan tree would not survive such an explosion.

This explosion concentrated all the gunpowder in the army.

However, there was not too much gunpowder in the Xia army. In addition, some gunpowder was hoarded on the city wall, but it should be more than 1,000 catties. was stuffed into the city gate by Ma Sanbao and detonated at once, although this power was not enough to blow up the south gate into the sky. But it was enough for the Ming army to drink a pot.

Zhang Xuan heard the explosion from a distance, looked back at the smoke and dust, and smiled slightly. For a time, the attack on Guilin was not overcome, more than 1,000 losses were lost, and the bad mood brought to Zhang Xuan by the disappearance of more than 100 people was also blown away a lot by the sound of this explosion.

Of course, Zhang Xuan understands very well that this so-called disappearance is likely to be captured.

As Zhang Xuan expected.

This explosion was enough for Qu Shiyun to drink a pot.

With Ningyuan Gate as the center, more than 100 meters to the north, it has been affected. Depending on the distance from the city gates, the degree of injury of the soldiers varied. The closest ones don't even have a single intact corpse now. There are only large swaths of charred ground. Not even bloodstained.

Only a little farther away were there large blood stains, as well as stumps and severed arms, these broken limbs did not look like human bodies, but burned firewood, the outermost layer was charred black, only the wounds, the blood that kept flowing, let people know that this was not wood.

As for the farther afield, there are large struggling crowds.

Here, the aftermath of the explosion was no longer enough to kill people, but only to injure them. There were all kinds of injuries, the most obvious were burns, followed by impact injuries, and the most inconspicuous were internal injuries, the whole person looked like no injuries, but he was not breathing.

A little further afield, most people don't have much going on.

It's just a few minor injuries, or temporary deafness in the ear. Or be broken by the flying stones. All in all, it's a small injury.

But even that was enough to terrify the soldiers.

This scene, which was like the Shura field, discouraged everyone.

Qu Shiyun rolled his eyes, and he also knew that it was no longer possible to force people to chase after him. His heart suddenly moved, and he said secretly: "Yes, there is still a new force." ”

This new force is none other than Liu Chengyin, who has just arrived in Guilin City.

Qu Shiyun did what he did, and after assigning the task of cleaning the battlefield and repairing the south gate, he rode away at a gallop. He wants to see Liu Chengyin.

At the gate of Jingjiang Palace, he met Liu Chengyin.

Liu Chengyin's face was a little gloomy and said, "Where is Your Majesty?" ”

His main purpose was Yongli, and he never expected that after entering the city, he would actually fall into the air.

Qu Shiyun listened to Liu Chengyin's words, and immediately grasped the main point, and a wave of anger arose in his heart, and he said secretly: "Ignorant ruffian, you also want to interfere in politics?" He may not have thought that Liu Chengyin wanted to be Cao Cao, but he could guess that after Liu Chengyin arrived in Guilin, he did not join the battlefield, but came to Yongli first, which must be a bad intention.

He thought about it immediately, and a bitterness welled up in his heart.

At this moment, he just knows that Liu Chengyin is plotting against him, what can he do? This battle directly emptied Qu Shiyun's strength, and there was even a mess waiting for him to clean up.
