Chapter 459: Food Shortage
Zhao Liangdong's face turned pale: "I have seen it." ”
The adjutant general shouted anxiously: "Dashuai, let's run." ”
"Run? Where to run? If we run, the Crane Wing Formation will immediately disperse, and this battle will be lost. ”
"But if we stay here, we will only lose our lives in vain, and even if we win this battle, we will not be able to see it, and the credit of this battle will definitely be robbed by those people, and we will die in vain."
Zhao Liangdong laughed: "Do you think I came out to fight for fame and fortune?" ”
"Handsome 。。。。。。"
"In the second year of Shunzhi, I was recruited into the army, and three years later, I was promoted to a guerrilla general from the third grade, and the emperor was generous, and he had no regrets in his death."
The adjutant general opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't say it after all, the knife in his hand was tightly held, and the marshal decided to fight to the death to serve the country, if he had any other thoughts, it would inevitably tarnish the marshal.
And Cheng Xiaolian on the hillside is also deciding, if Huangfu Tong rushes straight into the crane wing array, eighty percent can kill Daniel Zhang, but he can't come back, if Daniel Zhang dies, this battle will be easy to fight, but if Huangfu Tong can't come back, can this battle be considered a win?
Cheng Xiaolian thought for a while: "Mingjin." ”
Jia Xu was stunned for a moment: "Your Highness, now that the cavalry is rushing straight into the enemy's army, it will definitely be able to kill Zhao Liangdong's head." ”
"Zhao Liangdong can't control the army in Ningxia, but Huangfutong can take the cavalry of the Northern Army and exchange Huangfutong for Zhao Liangdong's, is this deal cost-effective?"
Yang Youcai sighed in his heart, Zhao Liangdong has been fighting since the Shunzhi period, and now he is the governor of a province, compared to Huangfu Tong, a nobody, I don't know how many times stronger, but His Royal Highness is unwilling to exchange his life for his life, and the army can only sing gold.
Soon the Northern Sweeping Army sounded the sound of gold, and Huangfu Tong was leading the charge and had to divide the cavalry to both sides, and then drove back to the hillside.
Although Huangfu Tong is willing to serve the country with his body, but the order in the army is the order, as a general, what he has to do is only to obey the orders in the army, not to make assertions, because the commander of the Chinese army knows better what is going on, he can't rush to the past with blood, but it will ruin the big things of His Royal Highness. seems to be fearless and sacrifices himself to complete the army, but in fact it spoils the overall situation.
After Huangfu Tong returned to the hillside where Cheng Xiaolian was, he looked back and understood what was going on, and walked to Cheng Xiaolian with a warm heart: "Your Highness, why did you suddenly sing gold." ”
Before Cheng Xiaolian could speak, Jia Xu opened his mouth first: "Your Highness said that an Huangfu Tong who can lead troops is more important than Zhao Liangdong, who can't lead soldiers, so he refuses to exchange your life for his life." ”
Huangfu Tong hurriedly dismounted: "How can the last general, He De, be so loved by His Royal Highness?" He is just a commander in the army, Zhao Liangdong is the commander of a province, and if he dies with the last general, he can be regarded as a well-deserved death. ”
Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "Zhao Liangdong is an old man in his fifties, you are a fierce general in his youth, how can he compare to you." Besides, after this incident, the rift between him and the Ningxia army is irreparable, so what does it matter if he is killed or not? ”
Although Cheng Xiaolian said this, Huangfu Tong knew in his heart that if Zhao Liangdong did not die for a day, the Ningxia army would not retreat for a day, and they would always be a trouble here.
Not only Huang Futong, but the deputy general next to him was also inexplicably moved, who had ever heard of such a thing as giving up the opportunity to kill a provincial commander for the sake of a commanding officer? There is a five-level difference between these two people, and I don't know how many commanders there are under a commander, but His Highness has not changed.
It didn't take long for the news to spread throughout the army, and for a while, Huangfutong's reputation spread, and Cheng Xiaolian's loyal name spread all over the army.
But the situation on the other side is not very good, especially Zhao Liangdong collected his troops and returned to the camp, first three thousand soldiers died in the artillery and fire of the battalion, and then the army made the act of giving up the commander, which made the army permeated with an atmosphere of slaughter, and everyone felt that Zhao Liangdong must kill this time.
But Zhao Liangdong unexpectedly held back his actions, he knew in his heart that once he made any move that touched the Ningxia Army, he would be the next Chen Fu.
Thinking of this, he regretted killing Xiong Hu a little, but he was a little helpless, keeping Xiong Hu was tantamount to disobeying the king's orders, and he, the admiral, didn't have to do it.
When he returned to the army, he only gave orders to the three armies, and this time the command was not effective, so that the soldiers in the army suffered heavy losses, so he handed the court an excerpt of the guilt, and hoped that the brothers in the army would work together in the future to make meritorious deeds, and they would be able to glorify their ancestors.
This general order can be called very low-voiced, and he didn't even mention a word about the things on the battlefield today, of course Zhao Liangdong knows that these brave people, intimidation is useless, he can only coax them with good words, if the court can allocate silver, Zhao Liangdong is even more sure, but now there is no silver, and he has no better way.
Although a big victory has been achieved today, Cheng Xiaolian does not have any smug look, 3,000 people are nothing to Zhao Liangdong, 20,000 soldiers and 17,000 soldiers are not much different from the 5,000 Ming army, but the morale in the camp is high, especially when Cheng Xiaolian gave up killing Zhao Liangdong in order to save the lives of his cavalry brothers, everyone mustered up their strength, and they were confident enough to fight for such a Ming Dynasty.
Zhao Liangdong returned to the camp, and when the soldiers couldn't see it, he slammed all the documents on the table to the ground: "Ben Shuai has been on the battlefield for many years, and he has never fought such a!" ”
The strategist behind him hurriedly knelt on the ground: "It's all the incompetence of the subordinates, they were seen through the strategy, they caused the army to fail miserably, and almost affected the marshal, please punish me heavily!" ”
Zhao Liangdong sighed: "Get up, I can't blame you for this matter." ”
"The subordinates are incompetent."
"The generals who have used tactics since ancient times, where can they guarantee that the enemy army will definitely be tricked, the reason why they can win the battle is just to rely on the ability to adapt to changes on the battlefield, today's battle is aggrieved, but because we could have won, but we were harmed by these traitors and lost the battle, and when the world is pacified in the future, this commander will definitely not let them go!"
"Marshal, now that there is an undercurrent in the army, and those people are disobedient, what should we do?"
"The soldiers will come to block, and the water will cover the earth. I don't believe that they can kill more than 10,000 of us. ”
"But Marshal, there is not much food in our army anymore, I'm afraid it won't last many days."
"What do you say? How much surplus food is there in the army? ”
"It's only enough for the army to eat for fifteen days."
