Chapter 254: Houjin is to be withdrawn
The people on the ship who witnessed the whole battle were all in awe of these soldiers at this moment, and all of them burst into tears and tears!
"I have this tiger in the Ming Dynasty, why worry about the injustice of the slaves, why worry about the injustice of the world?" a scholar shouted with a thick neck and a hoarse voice. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Strong!" another reader chimed in.
Someone immediately interrupted them.
"Now what are you doing with these crepes, old and young masters, hurry up and send water and food to the soldiers!"
"Yes, yes, don't look at it, it's true to hurry up and reward the soldiers!"
"Which boat has gold sore medicine and hemostatic powder? β
"Ship boss, what are you doing in a daze?
The captain smiled bitterly, "Brother, it's not that I don't want to, it's really easy to run aground by relying on the past." β
"If you run aground, Lao Tzu will compensate you, how much is the broken ship, you can tell me, Lao Tzu will raise you if you have one child!"
Countless large and small boats approached one after another, and as soon as the planks were laid, a large crowd of people suddenly poured down.
"I'm a doctor, I'm here to stop the bleeding! Let's look for the most seriously injured first!"
"I'm a guy from Huang Ji Pharmacy, we have good gold sore medicine on the ship, everyone can help me take it out!"
The men sitting on the ground listened to these heart-warming words, and finally they couldn't hold it back one by one, and tears flowed down their eyes.
For a long time, both inside and outside the government and the opposition have attached great importance to literature and light on military force, and these big-headed soldiers have been ranked among the three religions and nine ranks, with a low status and a lot of white eyes. This was the first time they felt how important they were.
Qin Shuhuai looked at everything in front of him, and his eyes were also wet.
Of the more than 1,000 people brought from the Jianghe Gang before the expedition, more than ninety percent of them were lost in battle, and now there are only seventy or eighty people left, and nearly half of them are seriously wounded.
Even the Demon Sect's Five Elements Banner suffered heavy losses. There are a total of 1,000 people in the Red Fire Banner and the Loess Banner, and now only about 200 remain. Qingshui Banner also suffered nearly half of the casualties.
Not to mention the original Jizhou garrison collected from Hengshanwei, more than 2,000 people were almost all killed in battle except for one or two hundred who escaped, and only more than 100 survivors remained, half of whom could no longer stand up, and were still lying in the city of Hexi.
He Kegang walked over slowly, bowed solemnly to Qin Shuhuai, and said, "He Mou is for all the soldiers of the Guan Ning Army, thank Lord Qin for his help!"
He knew very well that if Qin Shuhuai had not courageously assassinated Yue Tuo, Guan Ning's army would have no chance of winning today! If it had not been for the help of these friends from the rivers and lakes called by Qin Shuhuai, Guan Ning's army might even have been completely wiped out.
The seventy or eighty Jianghe gang members also knelt down and shouted in unison with tears in their eyes, "The gang leader is mighty!
The strongest belief is always forged in the most brutal battle. These gangs all come from the rivers and lakes, and each has their own completely different experiences, but after experiencing brutal battles, they all have the same obsession. This obsession was given to them by Qin Shuhuai.
The great man of chivalry, for the country and the people!
Qin Shuhuai has always been afraid to use dark and despicable means to calculate others, nor is he afraid to do all kinds of villain things, but on this issue, he has never mixed a little sand.
It is for the country and the people!
This Weiguangzheng even has some false slogans, which may seem a little naΓ―ve and hypocritical to modern people, but under the special cultural atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty, whoever can hold up this banner will stand on the commanding heights of the troubled times.
He is now holding up this banner with practical actions!
Seeing more and more people flocking to the shore from the boat, and boxes of supplies being moved down from the boat, Qin Shuhuai felt that he was not hypocritical when he said these four words again.
Of course, I, Qin Shuhuai, am selfish, I want to have power over the world, be rich and rival the country, and stand on the top of this Ming Dynasty. I want to control my own destiny, and at the same time, I want to control the destiny of the world! It is also my dream to be drunk and lie on the knees of a beautiful woman and wake up to the power of the world.
But I can also make the life of the 20,000,000 people of the Ming Dynasty better and make my compatriots more dignified, which is also what I want to do.
Three miles northeast of Shangqing Bridge, Huang Taiji camp.
After receiving that Dolgon and Yuetuo's 5,000 elite cavalry were almost completely annihilated, Yuetuo was killed in battle, and the remnants of Dolgon's belt disappeared, Huang Taiji was so angry that he fell ill.
When he entered the fortress, he brought 34,000 elites, full of ambition, intending to sign an alliance under the city by intimidating the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time plundering the original to alleviate the domestic economic and food crisis, but since entering the fortress, every step has been full of resistance and crisis. 34,000 elites, if they have already lost more than 20,000 in battle. In addition to the six thousand horsemen in Shimen Village, now he only has six thousand elites left in his hands!
Although lying on the hospital bed, Huang Taiji did not dare to slack off, and immediately summoned the generals to discuss the military situation.
The atmosphere in the camp was very solemn, and Dai Shan's eyes were even red, and the tears on his face were not dry. Yue Tuo was the son he valued the most, and now he died suddenly in battle, how could he not be grief-stricken?
In fact, there is no need to discuss Houjin's action strategy next, because there is only one way, and that is to withdraw troops.
Now Huang Taiji only has 6,000 elites in his hands and more than 30,000 soldiers. The combat effectiveness of these soldiers can't even catch up with the Ming army, and there is no hope at all. As for the remaining 6,000 elite soldiers, they are not divine soldiers, and the 5,000 elite cavalry that has just been wiped out in Hexi has already explained this problem.
If the attack on Hexi continues, it is necessary to first recruit civilian boats. This is the territory of Daming, and the so-called "requisition" can only be robbed. If you want to grab all the boats to cross the river, I am afraid that the reinforcements of the Ming army have already gathered, but when the time comes to capture the west of the river, it is already very good if the Houjin army is not completely annihilated.
The direction of the withdrawal has been set, but how to withdraw the troops is another question. Previously, Neiying reported that Yuan Chonghuan had arrived in Tongzhou, and half of the defenders of Jizhou had been taken away by him, so some generals thought that going back from Jizhou would not encounter much resistance, and that it was the closest to Zunhua from there.
After listening to this, Huang Taiji asked Fan Wencheng again, "What does Mr. Fan think?"
Since Fan Wencheng offered a plan to help Huang Taiji out of Hengling, Huang Taiji has trusted him. Now whenever he makes a major decision, he will first consult Fan Wencheng.
Fan Wencheng thought for a while and said, "Now that the main force of our army has been lost, the Ming army will inevitably take this opportunity to seek a decisive battle with our army." If you go to Jizhou, the soldiers of Tongzhou, Shunyi, and Miyun of the Ming Kingdom can pursue our army. In addition, Jizhou, Shimen Zhai still have the Ming defenders, although our army also has 6,000 cavalry to contain, but in case they are desperate to intercept the army, only need to drag the army for a day or two, the Ming army behind can catch up, so that our army is mighty. β
Huang Taiji nodded frequently when he heard this, and said, "What about Mr.'s opinion?"
Fan Wencheng said confidently, "Go east to Baodi and Yutian, and then go north to Zunhua." β
