Chapter 789: Retreat

In charge of patrolling this area was Du Sihe Jiuzhang of the Forward Battalion of Nanjing Right Town, and when he heard his opponent's answer, he asked, "Who are you?" ”

The person who came hugged his fists and said in a deep voice: "The two of us are under the command of Master Gao Jie of the Ministry of Intelligence, and under the military order of Inspector Xu, we sneaked into Shunde Mansion to ask for Lord Song and Lord Qin!" Please also ask my brother to report for us! ”

He Jiuzhang's heart was shocked when he heard this, Lord Gao Jie's subordinates? That's really my own person!

"Come with me, two of you!"

He Jiuzhang ordered the others to continue patrolling the city, and he brought two people to see Song Jiaxing.

"Humble Song Manjiang and Du Kui see General Song!"

The two of them bowed together.

"Song Manjiang, is that you? Why does Yifan have a new order? ”

Song Jiaxing had seen Song Manjiang in Weihui Mansion, and they were all cadres supported by Gao Jie to Xu Yifan.

Song Manjiang said in a deep voice: "General Song, just a few days ago, Inspector Xu led the army north, ambushed the main force of the Jierharang West Route Army in Zheng County, defeated Jierharang in one fell swoop, annihilated more than 40,000 Manchurian Tartars, and won a complete victory, Li Dingguo and Shu Xinchen, two generals, led the main force under their command, all the way to the west, and completely drove Jierharang to the north of the Yellow River, the crisis of the Tianwei Army has been lifted, Inspector Xu asks you and General Qin Mufeng to immediately abandon Shunde Mansion, break out of the encirclement, and return to Weihui Mansion!" ”

"Great! Yifan, it has never let us down! Come on, go and invite Mu Feng over! ”

After a short time, Qin Mufeng came to the hall and learned about Xu Yifan's military order.

Qin Mufeng frowned, and said in a deep voice: "You said that Yifan let us go out of the city and go to Weihui Mansion?" ”

Song Manjiang hurriedly replied: "General Qin, now that the crisis of the Tianwei Army has been lifted, we are as stable as Mount Tai in Weihui, there is no need for your Nanjing Right Town to die here, and it will only increase casualties!" ”

"But—"

Qin Mufeng said in a deep voice: "There are more than 10,000 elite cavalry of the Eight Banners outside the city, plus the elite infantry and green battalions of Shanhaiguan, the Manchurian troops gathered here are more than 30,000 people, and we don't even have 10,000 troops in our hands now, the disparity in strength is so great, and to return to Weihui Mansion, we have to pass by the Daimyo's Mansion, Duoduo will definitely not let us rush out of the Daimyo's Mansion easily......"

Song Jiaxing nodded and replied, "That's for sure, now that Duoduo hates us to the core, how can we easily escape?" There are heavy troops in pursuit behind, and there are many Duoduo troops blocking the way in front, if we go all the way south, we will be completely surrounded and annihilated in the Daimyo's Mansion! ”

Song Manjiang smiled: "How come? If Inspector Xu couldn't even calculate this, wouldn't he be carrying a great reputation in vain? Now the cavalry of the first town of the Tianwei army has advanced all the way along the Taihang Mountain to the vicinity, less than thirty miles away from Shunde Mansion, once the two generals lead the army to break through, the Tianwei Army will stab the Tartar from behind, and then the two generals will go south, as long as they get rid of the Tartar, from Shunde Mansion to the Daimyo Mansion, but two hundred miles away, two days and two nights will be able to cross the Daimyo Mansion and enter our sphere of influence. ”

"And!"

Song Manjiang continued: "On the same day that I set off, Lord Xu had already led the main cavalry of the Tianwei Army to enter the Daimyo's Mansion, and now the strength of the Daimyo's Mansion Duoduo is only 30,000 or 40,000 people, facing the advance of the Xu Governor's Division, I am afraid that he will not even dare to go out of the gate of the Daimyo's Mansion, how can he dare to go out of the west of the Daimyo's Mansion, only the elite of our second town?" ”

Qin Mufeng and Song Jiaxing glanced at each other, and Qin Mufeng said coldly: "If you want me to say, even if you want to break through to the south, you are thinking of attacking in the southeast, killing Dongchang Mansion in one fell swoop, and snatching Dongchang Mansion back again, damn, if we let the Tartars gain a firm foothold in Shandong, it will be too passive for us!" It is better to let the brothers of the first town cover us, and we will go all the way to Dongchang Mansion, cross the Yellow River, and recapture Shandong again! ”

"Mu Feng, you don't have a fever, do you? Do you think that your current Nanjing Right Town is still the Nanjing Right Town when you first entered Shandong? Look at the brothers outside, which one has the strength to fight fiercely? Marching into Shandong? I think you've been blinded by lard! ”

Song Jiaxing's face sank, and he shouted angrily.

Qin Mufeng looked at Song Jiaxing in amazement, he originally thought that Song Jiaxing would agree with his opinion, but he didn't expect to be sprayed!

Qin Mufeng replied: "You just have a fever, if Shandong doesn't know what the chaos has become now, once the whole Shandong falls into the hands of the Qing army, even if they don't take Henan, they can also go around from the east of the canal, and even cross the Huai River from Shandong to the south and go straight to the Yangtze River!" If we don't go to Shandong, what should we do in Shandong? ”

Song Jiaxing said helplessly: "Mu Feng, you are not our emperor, if you have the emperor's skills, I don't care about you!" We chose to break through from the southwest, because the southwest direction is the Taihang Mountains, which can cover the retreat of our infantry, and the cavalry of the Qing army cannot launch a surprise attack. However, if we break through to the southeast, from the south of Shunde Province, to Pingchuan, our infantry will be able to outrun the cavalry of others? See for yourself how many bullets are left in our flintlock muskets? Do you think we can be the opponents of Abatai and Aobai outside the city? When the time comes, Abatai and Aobai will pursue from behind, the Qing army east of the canal will block our route to cross the river on the flank, and there will be Duoduo's army in front, do you want to push all the brothers in the right town of Nanjing into the fire pit? ”

Qin Mufeng woke up suddenly, Song Jiaxing was right, his right town of Nanjing suffered heavy casualties, not to mention that there were still three or two boxes of bullets of musketeers, even the bows and arrows of ordinary infantry were now used up, once they fell into a heavy siege, then the right town of Nanjing was definitely a place to die without a burial!

"Okay, listen to you, you have now taken over the military power, I will listen to you!"

Qin Mufeng said in a sullen voice.

Song Jiaxing shouted in a deep voice: "In this case, the order is given, the army will immediately assemble towards Xicheng, and an hour later, the army will follow us out of Shunde Mansion and advance to the south. All go down and get ready! ”

An hour later, the time has come to the third lesson, and then an hour in the evening, the sky will be bright, at this time, it is the time when people sleep the deepest, Shunde Mansion quietly put down the city gate, a team of troops from the establishment of the kill, just out of Shunde Mansion, a roar, Nanjing right town soldiers began to launch a surprise attack in the southwest direction, run! Mind the rest, get rid of the Qing army behind him first! ”
