XXXVII. The End of Heroes (3)
"Woo~" a few wind whimpering, blowing through the cliffs that do not grow an inch of grass, the north is already full of spring, but this southwest border land, but it seems that there is no spring, although the weather is a little warm, but this place at an altitude of more than 1,000 meters, a little warm has long been blown away by the wind. The Dadu River roared and slapped the black river water the cliff, playing a deep whirlpool, heading east, not far away there was a fisherman shivering in the cold wind and casting the net, half a day did not see the harvest, was discouraged and ready to call it a day and go home, suddenly saw the fishing net sinking to death, the fisherman was overjoyed, thought that there was a big fish into the net, hurriedly closed the net, and then muttered to himself, "My God, this dragon king is merciful, ready to give me a big one!" Tomorrow, I will go to the Dragon King Temple and spend a few dollars to pay you tribute! The fisherman had to pull the net off the water, who knew that there was a red thing inside, the fisherman originally thought it was a red carp, and looked at it carefully, and it was a red cloth wrapped head, the fisherman was so frightened that he hurriedly threw away the fishing net and jumped up from the boat, "ouch" The fisherman was so frightened that he quickly patted his chest and pressed his head, raised his head, and found that there were many yellow and red things floating on the river, whether it was pale skin in the waves, and the fisherman couldn't care about his only boat. Three feet and two steps, jumped onto the riverbank, and fled without looking back.
The river was full of corpses, and after a while, a military boat flew down the river, stabbing to death some of the Taiping soldiers who were still alive on the water, "These turtle sons have a big fate, and they have fled here from Jiangning, if it weren't for our Governor's clever tricks." These turtle sons don't know how many places they are going to do! The little leader at the head spat at the blood-soaked river, and scolded in Sichuanese, "Let's go, let's go back to the camp, the governor has prepared spicy and pork, and it is very suitable!" ”
The sailors and soldiers on the ship responded with a bang, turned the bow of the ship, and sailed more than ten miles upstream to the waterway, to a place where the water was gentle, and the flag like a forest was floating along the river, the leader jumped ashore first, and was about to go to the handsome tent to hand over the errand, when he saw the governor of Sichuan in front of Goshha no longer had the smile on his face, and stood in front of the main tent with a solemn expression, the little chief's originally cheerful steps suddenly became heavy, why something was wrong, "Sixth brother, what's wrong?" Shi Da couldn't stand it when he opened his eyes, why didn't everyone even have a smile on their faces? ”
"Ronglu is here." Goshha, who was called Six, had a disdainful and annoyed expression on his face, "It's no good thing for a night owl to enter the door, this is to steal the credit!" ”
Sichuan Governor Luo Bingzhang pondered for a long time, and slapped his palm, "Now Shi Dakai can't escape anymore!" ”
A general in the underground hurriedly slapped his ass, "Thanks to the commander's meritorious command, he followed the rebels all the way, so that Shi Da could be rushed to the bottom of the water in this purple land!" ”
"It's a good time, it's really the right time, the right place, and the credit is not Bendu's." On March 27 of the lunar calendar, 30,000 or 40,000 Taiping troops entered Zidadi through Mianning Road, preparing to cross the Dadu River and take Chengdu. Who knows, a large net planned by Luo Bingzhang and composed of the Sichuan army, the Hunan army and the Tusi "Yi soldiers" was scattered on both sides of the Dadu River. On April 4 of the lunar calendar, Shi Dakai's righteous army crossed the river on a raft, "half of which was lowered, and attacked with guns and cannons" without surviving. Shi Dakai selected 5,000 elites, assembled rafts, and rushed to cross, and victory was in sight. At this critical moment, the Dadu River rose in advance, which had not been encountered for decades, the flood peak came suddenly, the boat was broken and the raft was destroyed, and 5,000 elites were killed in the flood. There is no life left, and the whole army is angry. The Qing army on the north bank was very frightened at first, thinking that there was going to be a bloody battle, and then all the rafts were destroyed in the flood, thinking that the "river god" appeared. Luo Bingzhang also said in the recital to the imperial court; At that time, the battle of the river defense relied on the "river god to help Shun" on April 12 of the lunar calendar, the Qing army robbed Ma'anshan, and the Taiping army's grain road was lost and fell into death.
"If there are no soldiers with their lives, such a record from there, now the last king of this Taiping traitor is about to be extinguished, but everyone must be careful," Luo Bingzhang knew at this time that it was not the time to be proud, only to see that he suppressed the smile on his face, and ordered in a deep voice, "In case of carelessness in Jingzhou, call the sons and daughters below, do not drink, have enough meat and vegetables, hang the four big words in front of the long-haired camp, and then ask people to persuade people to surrender day and night, these days, Shi Dakai will beg in front of the governor!" ”
"Huh!"
At this time, Goshha from the Governor's Mansion outside ran in, clasped his fists and saluted, "Governor Qiqi, Lord Admiral has arrived!" ”
"Oh?" Luo Bingzhang raised his eyebrows, his face was faint, "What is he doing?" Didn't you go to the Red River to set up defenses? Please come in. ”
The general had a happy expression on his face, "General Rong is here!" The atmosphere inside suddenly cooled, and he was about to go out of the tent to greet him, but the foot that had just stretched out was immediately retracted. (To be continued.)
