Chapter 868: Beijing's Offensive and Defensive Battle (17)
Guan Songmao was searching the woods with people, and suddenly a soldier shouted: "General, look at this tree." β
The people around him immediately pulled up the bow and arrow in their hands, and looked at it as if it was a piece of armor.
"What's so nice about armorγγγγγγ" Guan Songmao didn't finish this sentence and realized something: "Someone has lurked in our team!" β
Just now, in order to distinguish between the enemy and me, Guan Songmao ordered people to take off the armor of the upper body, the sky was so dark, no one knew whether the people around him were their own people, and the military of the Ming Dynasty took this opportunity to take off their armor on the tree and blend into his army.
Guan Songmao's mouth was bitter, this is not good news, at this time, there is no way to judge who is lurking in the team, if you check one by one, there is not so much time.
"General, the marshal has an order, let you immediately lead the troops back to the camp to defend, General Liu Guoguo died in battle, and now the army can't hold it anymore."
Guan Songmao gasped, he knew best what level Liu Guoli was, and now even Liu Guoguo was killed in battle, which showed that the Ming army did launch an offensive tonight in everyone's surprise.
Things that no one expected, generally there is nothing to take advantage of, like this situation, no one can believe that attacking the mountain in the dark will have such an effect, if he had known this, Hu Guozhu would definitely not let Liu Guoguo take such a few people to guard the mountain road.
But now it's too late to say anything, and if you suffer a loss, you have to accept your fate, which is very important on the battlefield, and the more radical you want to get the field back, the easier it is to be hit by people in a row. Therefore, Hu Guozhu immediately gathered his men and horses to return to the camp to defend.
There are still tens of thousands of people in the army, and it is absolutely impossible to fight back, as long as it can survive tonight, it will be able to breathe a sigh of relief, and there is still hope for victory.
At this time, Hu Guozhu reacted to the way back, the battle line was too long, he thought that he could take Beijing in one fell swoop, but now he was defeated in a battle, and he had no plan.
It was only at this time that Hu Guozhu remembered that Wu Sangui had taught him that when a general arrived on the battlefield, he must not say victory and think about defeat first. At the beginning, he just nodded yes on the surface, and confirmed in his heart that he had not said that he had won, and thinking about defeat first would not have ruined his own morale, but now that he thinks about it, it is a wise saying, at least he will not end up in a situation where there is no way back now.
At this time, a soldier beside him asked: "Dashuai, are we going to dig up the imperial tomb of the Ming Dynasty?" β
Hu Guozhu's heart was shocked, just after thinking about it carefully, he gave up this idea, the imperial tomb of the Ming Dynasty was built very strongly, and it may not be able to dig it up for a while, but it will force the Ming army, originally he wanted to force the Ming army to fight a decisive battle, but now that the Ming army has gone up the mountain, it is necessary to slow down the rhythm of this battle, and it must not anger them anymore.
Guan Songmao told Hu Guozhu about the spies in general, Hu Guozhu was also cold, but after thinking about it, he sighed: "Songmao, I thought you were mature enough to support the foundation of the family, but now it seems that you are still a little immature, but this can't be blamed on you, after all, you are indeed a little young, and you have not experienced so many things, I hope this war can teach you a lesson, and everything must be thought through." β
Guan Songmao's face turned a little red, originally he was indeed a young man, but when he was proud of the spring breeze, he was inevitably a little depressed after receiving such a blow.
"Don't blame yourself too much, I was not as good as you at your age, the whole thing is a bastard, thanks to my father-in-law, I have today's status, you work hard, you will be able to surpass me one day, and then the foundation of the family will have to rely on you to support it."
Guan Songmao suddenly felt that something was wrong: "Dashuai, why did you say these words." β
"Hehe, these words should have been said a long time ago, but it's not too late to say them, now the situation is urgent, if there is a chance, I will let you break through, you have to support this family business."
"Uncle! I...... β
"This is a military order!"
The two armies joined together and fought and retreated, and after half an hour they rushed back to their camp, which was already the fourth watch, and it was about to dawn.
At this time, those Ming Dynasty squads could no longer take advantage of it, after all, Hu Guozhu's troops retreated mainly on defense, and no matter how powerful the ten people were, they could only put cold arrows, and rushing up was to hit the stone with an egg.
Qi Dahai happily greeted Hu Guozhu when he saw him coming back: "Marshal, you can be regarded as back, I heard that the front-line war is a little unsmooth?" β
Hearing this, Hu Guozhu's face was a little gloomy: "Liu Guoguo has already died in battle, and when we go back, you have to remind me to go and see his family." β
Qi Dahai's face was also dark, his comrades in the army for so many years said that he would be gone, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He clenched his fists: "We must avenge this revenge!" β
Hu Guozhu nodded: "That's right, when the sky is bright, let's go and kill them with a horse gun, and let them see the majesty of our Great Zhou soldiers." Saying that, he remembered something again: "Immediately take the roster and start the roll call, there are soldiers from the Ming Dynasty mixed into our army, fortunately, there are not too many people, it won't take half an hour to finish the work, we must find them out." β
Qi Dahai's face was embarrassed: "Dashuai, isn't it a little too anxious to find someone now, even if a few people are mixed into our army, it won't become a big climate." It's better to wait for the war to end and then settle accounts with them. He also has his own concerns in his heart, seeing that the army of the Ming Dynasty is covering up, at this time to find out the traitors in the army will inevitably cause fluctuations in the army, even if these soldiers are all safe and sound, it is estimated that they have no heart to fight.
Hu Guozhu thought about it and felt that Qi Dahai was reasonable, at most dozens of people were mixed in this army, if it was for these dozens of people to cause panic in the army, it would be a little more than worth the loss.
"Thanks to your reminder, I'm a little out of order, and I almost did something wrong."
"The marshal has been busy all night, and it is normal to be a little tired, and the rest of the things will be handed over to the last general, if it is said that the last general of the Ming Dynasty army in front of him does not have the ability, but he is still confident in withstanding their offensive."
At this time, there was still almost an hour before the dawn of the day, Hu Guozhu nodded: "That's okay, I really feel a little drowsy in my head, take a nap in the advanced camp, and wait until the day is bright before fighting with the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty." He also had to sigh that the years were unforgiving, when he was young, it didn't matter if he fought fiercely for three days and three nights, but now he feels a little unbearable after just one night. After all, it is impossible for the army to rush out at this time, and it is not too late to take a break and wait for the brain to clear up before fighting with the Ming Dynasty army.
