Chapter 63: Chishui Victory III

Naturally, there are some people who do just that.

So Qu Shiyun ordered all departments to transfer personnel and horses to enforce military discipline, and those who went too far, such as killing people on the street, robbing women, etc., were executed on the spot and military law was enforced.

And Zhao Xing is one of the generals. Because Chen Youlong's subordinates were Liu Chengyin's subordinates, when Zhao Xing was enforcing military law, he naturally killed several Liu Chengyin's corporaries.

It's a common thing.

In this year, the soldiers and horses are not sure that there are not a few scum under their command. But I never thought that a very ordinary thing, a thing that the parties didn't care about, would become the main point of Qu Shiyun and Liu Chengyin's relationship.

An ordinary matter, once it is involved in party disputes, it is not clear. There is no reason to talk about it, even Jiao Lian can only listen to the results.

The final result, in order to give Liu Chengyin an explanation. Zhao Xing, a low-level officer in the eyes of everyone, can only die.

But for such a result, everyone can accept it, but Yang Qijiao can't accept it.

thought that if his injuries were not a little more serious that day, he would be in a different place at the moment. How could it be so easy for Yang Qijiao to pass in his heart. In the past six months, Yang Qijiao's heart has been tormenting all the time. In the end, he made the modern choice.

Jiao Lian's tone softened a lot, and said, "I have no choice but to do that." ”

Yang Qijiao said: "As a last resort. Well, I'm a last resort. My surname Yang has never been afraid of death, but I am afraid that one day I will die in vain, like Brother Zhao, he himself doesn't know what's going on? I fought bloodily for Daming, is this all I can get? ”

"I had no choice but to do it."

"Today's words have been made clear, I will not tolerate seeing each other on the battlefield in Japan."

Jiao Lian and Yang Qijiao were more than a hundred steps apart, and they both sank for a while, their intentions were already clear, and their words had been finished.

Jiao Lian did not stay long in the Xijiang River, and immediately landed on the north bank. On the north shore, Hu Yiqing has been waiting for Jiao Lian for a long time.

When Hu Yiqing saw Jiao Lian, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He was secretly glad that Jiao Lian did not lose to the south bank, which was also a blessing in misfortune. He had seen the fire on the south bank since midnight, and he wanted to support the south bank through the pontoon bridge, but he didn't want to see a lot of ships faintly in the river, firing arrows at the pontoon bridge from a distance.

This passage of life connecting the two sides of the strait suddenly became a passage of death. In addition, at night, the situation was unclear, and Hu Yiqing did not dare to act rashly, so he could only wait for dawn.

It wasn't just dawn, and Jiao Lian came over.

Jiao Lian said the matter as it was with a little shame. Hu Yiqing was furious and said: "Yang Qijiao should be killed." Because of the life of just one person, the overall situation collapses in the end, and a hundred deaths cannot forgive his sins. ”

Jiao Lian opened his mouth and closed it again.

His feelings for Yang Qijiao are very complicated, on the one hand, he hates him to the bone, but on the other hand, he also has a faint sense of compassion. "Last year, Qu Ge really did something wrong."

Zhao Xing's death, Jiao Lian was also reluctant, and begged bitterly on Qu Shiyun's side, but the situation in the court at that time was that Liu Chengyin was strong, and after Qu Shiyun lost his troops and generals, although there was a big victory, he was also driven out of Guilin City. At this time, Qu Shiyun was not willing to compete with Liu Chengyin, so he naturally had to compromise.

One thing, from the perspective of different people, is a different thing. Qu Shiyun seems to be just a compromise, he will naturally have a chance to make a comeback one day, no, but in half a year, Qu Shiyun's momentum has been shocked, and he has overwhelmed Liu Chengyin. It can be seen that Qu Shiyun's compromise was correct at the beginning.

But only those close to Zhao Xing know that human life is human life, and if a human head is cut off, it will not grow.

Jiao Lian understood some of Yang Qijiao's actions, so he hated even more why he didn't argue with reason at the beginning. If it hadn't been for that event, we wouldn't be where we are today.

"General Jiao, what do you think we should do now?" Hu Yiqing lost his temper for a while, and then shifted the situation to the current battle situation.

Jiao Lian said: "In last night's battle, the Xia army didn't say anything about losses, I estimate that he is now preparing to attack Beizhai in a big way." ”

Jiao Lian's judgment was very correct, as soon as Jiao Lian's voice fell, there was news from below, and there was a change on the south bank.

Hu Yiqing took his generals out to watch the battle, but saw that on the surface of the Xijiang River, there were many ships on the east of the pontoon bridge, and for a time countless shells smashed on the pontoon bridge, and these shells did not know what to do.

The fire is like a line of fire connecting the south bank and the north bank of the West River.

The fire was fierce, but in a moment some of the ropes on the pontoon bridge, which had been built with some boats pulled by ropes, were broken in the middle. Without this pontoon bridge, the Xijiang River would have run up and down.

Hu Yiqing's face was extremely ugly for a while.

Hu Yiqing is not without a navy, but their navy is only limited to transporting grain and grass, and don't even think about the rest. If Zhang Xuan hadn't taken over these surrendered pirates, it would not have been easy to build a capable sailor from scratch.

There was no ability to resist the Xia Army's ability to control the Xijiang River. That is to say, the Xia army and the sailors can cross this place, go west directly, and attack Xunzhou, Liuzhou and other places

The support of these prefectures and counties in the rear.

Without the support of these prefectures and counties, tens of thousands of troops would not have been able to gather tens of thousands of troops with local grain and grass alone.

Jiao Lian said: "General Hu, please make a decision quickly, it is already a chicken rib in this place, it is better to turn to the Guijiang camp, protect Pingle and Guilin, and wait for the old Qu Pavilion to turn around, and then it is not too late to make plans." Once the Xia army breaks through the Guijiang Dazhai again, their troops will be able to directly target Guilin. ”

Hu Yiqing paced back and forth and said, "I know, I know." ”

Hu Yiqing is not a fool, he can even see it more clearly than Jiao Lian, but those who see clearly and understand may not be able to make a decision. Once Hu Yiqing evacuated here, he would lose half of Guangxi to the Xia army, and go along the west of Xijiang, such as Xunzhou and Liuzhou, which are not entirely correct to say that there are no soldiers, and there are probably some village warriors. But how can the villagers resist the Xia army.

When the time comes, the responsibility for abandoning the land will be on whose head.

Hu Yiqing's order came to his lips, and he turned around again.

It's just that Cao Zongyu won't give Hu Yiqing a chance to breathe. Cao Zongyu's military thinking was greatly influenced by Zhang Xuan, or they influenced each other on military thought, and he also admired Zhang Xuan's strategy and concentrated the main force in the war of annihilation.

Even though after this battle, the Xijiang gateway was opened, but Cao Zongyu did not send a single soldier to the north. Instead, under the cover of Lin Cha, he landed on both sides of the North Camp, and he had no intention of attacking the village, but he set up two small villages and sandwiched the North Camp inside.

Seeing this, Hu Yiqing immediately sent soldiers to attack. I want to drive the Xia army down the river.

Because Hu Yiqing knew that once Xia Jun gained a firm foothold, the camps of the two sides were so close that they were almost staring at each other. He Hu Yiqing wants to evacuate, it is simply impossible.

And how Xia Jun can be easily driven down the river, it is not Cao Zongyu.

Cao Zongyu was the first to go ashore with the soldiers of the Nanyang battalion.

After many years of training, the soldiers of Nanyang are all elite veterans, and they are not much worse than the Jinhua army taking some of the former Zhejiang army. There is only a defense, but also the ability to unload some artillery support from the ship. For a while, it was as if it had taken root.

No matter how Hu Yiqing attacked, he naturally stood still.

The two sides fought repeatedly on the north bank of the Xijiang River.

Cao Zongyu also did not move, and he used all his power as soon as he moved, and almost all the soldiers in Wuzhou City were evacuated, and all kinds of materials were smashed here. Before the battle was fought for a day, Hu Yiqing had to face the fact that the Xia army was fighting more and more, forcing the camp to go down from several aspects.

almost surrounded Hu Yiqing to death on the north bank of the Xijiang River, but at this moment Hu Yiqing wanted to leave, but he couldn't.

The war here is not over yet, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Xia army has the absolute upper hand. The news also spread to all sides like the wind.
