Section 24 Training (I)

Although the smoke and dust were billowing in front of him, Zu Zepu couldn't see where the Qingming army had rushed for a while, but he knew very well that the Sichuan-Shaanxi Green Battalion on both flanks, the most elite force in his hands, had not launched a diversion attack in time according to the commander's intentions. The shouts of slaughter came from near and far, and then a large number of ownerless horses rushed back from the east, and many cavalry originally on the right flank fled back in panic.

"It looks like the right wing is not going well." Zu Zepu immediately made a judgment.

Just now, the first attack of the Ming army almost hit his general's flag, looking at Deng Ming's murderous posture, the governor of Shandong was sure that the other party did not attack the hills not because he was polite to himself, but because the impact was exhausted, and he was also worried that he would be attacked by a sudden attack from the flank.

And now there is no Qing army on the plain in front of him, the right wing is estimated to have been broken up in this blow of the Ming army, and the left flank has been a mess because of two U-turns, Zu Zepu can't think of any reason for the enemy not to always attack his position.

"It seems that it is difficult for the Wang Division to overcome all the achievements today, we will fight again in the coming day, collect the troops and return to the camp." With a wave of his hand, Zu Zepu turned around and walked down the hill with the guards. However, since he did not flee but collected his troops and returned to the camp, of course he did not need to pull out the flag, Zu Zepu left his flag on the hill and ran to the west without saying a word.

When the Ming cavalry came neatly again, they did not see an organized enemy along the way, and the enemy cavalry scattered on the battlefield saw the rows of black-armored cavalry rushing towards them. Now the Ming army was also surrounded by dust, and they rushed to Zu Zepu's flag position with their memories, and the officers on both flanks watched the surrounding fog with wide eyes, lest an enemy cavalry suddenly rush out from the flanks.

After rushing up to the small hill of Zu Zepu, Deng Ming still did not meet any resistance, he circled around the empty enemy commander's banner, shook his head, and ordered the soldiers to put the flag to the ground. Standing at the highest point of the hill, Deng Ming looked around and saw a cloud of green smoke on the post road to the west, which looked like dozens of cavalry galloping.

"Zu Zepu escaped so fast." Deng Ming estimated the distance and felt that it was impossible to catch up. As Zu Zepu's flag was lowered, the Qing troops around the battlefield knew that the battle had been declared a failure, and Deng Ming saw that a large number of Qing army flags were dumped, and countless people began to flee to the west.

"Split up and pursue, but don't chase them too far, just expel them from the battlefield." Deng Ming gave orders to several officers, and also sent Song Weishen, the deputy captain of the rangers, to lead a team of people to monitor the temporary camp of the governor of Shandong, and finally Deng Ming sent people to inform the friendly troops in Shandong, telling them that they could start the pursuit and help the Sichuan army clear the battlefield.

……

"It's really worthy of Admiral Deng, and he defeated Governor Zu in a single stick of incense." Fu Shancha had been standing still throughout the battle, and when the Ming army broke through the central front of the Qing army, he was sure that there would be no accidents in today's battle, and since then he has been watching the movement on the hills intently. Seeing from a distance that it seemed that a group of people had left from the hills, Fu Shancha suspected that it was the governor of Shandong who had run away, but since the handsome banner of the governor of Shandong was still standing, Fu Shancha, who had a bottom in his heart, was not in a hurry to retreat.

And seeing the cavalry holding the square flag rushing up the hill and quickly putting down Zu Zepu's banner, Fu Shancha breathed a sigh of relief, and now he can retreat calmly, and there is nothing that the performance of the Sichuan and Shaanxi Governor in this battle cannot be explained. The surrounding friendly forces began to break and flee, but Fu Shancha seemed calm.

"The Governor has run away!"

"The Governor has run away!"

The Sichuan-Shaanxi Green Battalion shouted the trumpet neatly, and trotted out of the battlefield in a neat formation. When loudly announcing the cause of defeat to his colleagues around him, Fu Shancha also ordered to save the Green Battalion officers he met along the way, and take these grateful people with him, he knew that Yao Changzun would probably do the same.

However, most of these frightened officers of the Green Battalion were scattered, and after being brought into the ranks, they felt a little uneasy when they saw that the Sichuan and Shaanxi Governors had not fled for their lives, and urged Fu Shancha to leave quickly.

"Don't worry, we have been fighting with Deng Thief for many years, although we are few people, but Deng Thief does not dare to press too hard, he knows our strength." Fu Shancha patiently explained. At this time, he met a commander of the infantry who did not even have a horse, and Fu Shancha ordered him to be dragged onto the horse, but one of his own soldiers needed to fend for himself.

The shouting and killing behind him was getting closer and closer, and Fu Shancha ordered those with officers to go ahead, and he personally cut off the rear.

A group of dozens of black-clothed cavalry came out of the smoke and dust, and when they saw the banner of the Sichuan and Shaanxi governors who were on guard, they slowed down their horses.

"I am the Governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, Li Gong, under the command of the Thousand Chief Fu Shancha!" Mr. Fu Qian's face was hideous, he put his spear horizontally in front of him, and shouted at the pursuers with grinned teeth: "Retreat!" You won't necessarily be able to win. ”

After the officers of the green battalion in the front row heard this shout, many people couldn't help frowning, feeling that it was too unimposing. After seeing these pursuers, the officers of the green battalion beat the drum in their hearts, although the other party was not many in number, if it was dragged back, and then the enemy brigade came, these Sichuan and Shaanxi governors and they were bound to be immune. At this time, many people secretly blamed Fu Shancha for being too soft-hearted, saving too many people, and delaying too long.

But he didn't expect the Sichuan army to eat this set, and the dozens of black-armored enemy horsemen stared at Fu Shancha and looked at it twice, then turned around and went in other directions, chasing the other fleeing enemies.

"Hurry up, hurry up." After the Sichuan army left, Fu Shancha also felt that he was a little too risky, although Deng Ming promised that as long as they did not contribute and retreated in time, the Sichuan army would not attack the Sichuan and Shaanxi Governors, but Fu Shancha secretly saved people It can be regarded as a side ball to play the agreement, in case of a bad-tempered Sichuan army to beat people, wouldn't Fu Shancha steal chickens and rice?

However, there are still a lot of defeated troops around the battlefield at the moment, Fu Shancha knows that the Sichuan army is still relatively busy now, and when they are idle, if the Sichuan and Shaanxi Governors have not stayed away from the battlefield, it will be dangerous, maybe they will meet a stunned young man with red eyes - as long as he makes a move, Fu Shancha will run, he knows that once he fights back, then Deng Ming will definitely not sit back and watch his men be killed - it is better to run late than early.

After escaping from the pursuit range of the Ming army with these new friends, Fu Shancha said to the frightened crowd: "You just thought that my words were not enough to deterrent? We were in danger just now, and the top priority was to get out safely, so I didn't fight with the enemy for a while, and it was okay for them to realize our combat strength. Lest I provoke some brainless person to come up and fight hard, and take you with me, and I am not completely open-handed. ”

At this time, Shandong people only have gratitude and admiration for Fu Shancha, where will they feel that he spoke inappropriately, after listening to Fu Shancha's explanation, this group of people praised one after another, saying that Fu Shancha is brave and strategic, and it is really the style of a general.

After the group walked in the direction of Qingzhou for a while, a team of brightly armored green battalions suddenly ran out from the flanks, and everyone looked at it, who was it not Yao Changzun?

"Big brother!"

"Brother!"

In front of everyone, Fu Shancha and Yao Changzun clasped their hands excitedly.

"Brother, it's good to be safe."

"Brother Lao is worried, I haven't worried about my eldest brother, because I know that with my eldest brother's martial arts, I will be able to fight my way out of the encirclement."

Like Fu Shancha, Yao Changzun also saved several Green Battalion officers. These people escaped death, and after they got together, they also admired the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi even more, and many people secretly swore in their hearts that they must strive to be deployed next to the Ganxi Green Camp in the future, and these northwest men are really too righteous.

On the way back to Qingzhou, everyone recounted this thrilling escape experience, and found that Yao Changzun's reaction in the face of the pursuing soldiers was similar to Fu Shancha's. When they were about to leave the battlefield, Yao Changzun and they unexpectedly met with more than a dozen Ming cavalry, Yao Changzun took the lead, rushed up and shouted to those Ming cavalry: "We are the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, even if you can stop us, do you still want to have no casualties?" ”

At that time, the Shandong Green Battalion, which was on the same road as Yao Changzun, was also worried that such weak words might arouse the enemy's desire to fight for merit, and the horses and equipment of the Sichuan-Shaanxi Green Battalion here must be good, and as long as the dozen or so Ming cavalry gave a signal to block it for a while, the surrounding Ming troops might surround it. But the Ming army listened to this, and they got out of the way to intercept the other scattered routs.

"No wonder the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi would promote them." After the communication, the officers of the Shandong Green Battalion were impressed by Fu Shancha and Yao Changzun. These two people are not only righteous and brave, but also good at figuring out the enemy's mind after the victory, indeed, there are so many defeated troops, there is no need to gnaw on these still well-established Sichuan and Shaanxi governors.

"Regardless of the momentary honor and disgrace, the eldest husband can bend and stretch, this should be what it means, right?" Shandong Green Battalion has a very high evaluation of the officers of the Sichuan and Shaanxi Governors, and it is really remarkable that at this juncture of life and death, they can still hold their breath and choose the most convincing reason.

……

Although many Qing cavalry fled after the defeat, more than 800 people were annihilated by the Ming army today, and the enemy was mainly cavalry, which was a very brilliant result for the Ming army. Even those enemy cavalry who fled also abandoned their armor and weapons on the battlefield, while only a few of the more than 600 infantry of the Green Battalion could escape, and most of them surrendered to the Ming army.

The work of cleaning up the battlefield went well, and the Ming army found a number of mangers full of food and water behind the hills of Zuzepu, and most of the horses that had lost their owners gathered there to eat and drink, and were easily captured by the Ming army.

"Put away Zu Zepu's guard of honor, and let's take it to the Qingzhou prefect." For Qingzhou Mansion west of the Jiaoshui River, Deng Ming planned to focus on intimidation; But for Laizhou Mansion to the east of the Jiaoshui River and Dengzhou Mansion further east, Deng Ming suddenly found that he had the time and possibility to attack them.
