Chapter 23 - Both losers

Cheng Xueqi rolled his eyes and thought to himself: This Qingyao claims to be an official, a general, and a deputy general. He must be a high official! Now stabilize him first and don't let him escape. When he meets the reinforcements, he can be captured alive!

"General! What you said is true! This is a high-ranking official of the third rank, and smoke is coming out of my ancestral grave! I never dreamed of such a good thing! Just wait for me to persuade my subordinates to surrender."

Jiang Zhongyuan looked at Cheng Xueqi who was turning around with a mocking look, and thought to himself: "You dare to play tricks in front of me, so let's stabilize him for now! If you attack him unprepared, you will surely capture this person alive."

Cheng Xueqi returned to the formation and told Ding Ruchang: "There is a high-ranking official Qingyao ahead. You send people to lurk in the south. Qingyao will be defeated and he will definitely withdraw towards Nanchang. Don't let him escape!"

Ding Ruchang smiled and said: "Don't worry, sir. I have sent someone to inform the division commander. I believe that reinforcements are on the way. None of this group of pure monsters can escape."

"Yu Ting! You are just too cautious, but you did the right thing this time!" Cheng Xueqi shook his head, not knowing whether to reward him or punish him.

When Liu Changyou, Wu Enze and others saw Jiang Zhongyuan's return, their faces became gloomy and they did not dare to say anything. They all stood and listened to instructions.

"You all go back to camp and attack in a quarter of an hour. You must kill all the short-haired soldiers in front of you." Jiang Zhongyuan estimated that time was almost up and ordered.

"Follow orders"



Ding Ruchang had been watching the movements of the enemy troops in front. When he saw them lining up to attack, he immediately said to Cheng Xueqi: "Fang Zhong, it's not good, the Qingyao has moved, and it seems to be coming to attack us!"

Cheng Xueqi waited and watched for a while, secretly thinking that Qingyao is so cunning! He has twice as many troops as me, and he is still cheating! He quickly ordered everyone to retreat back, and used his newly created lying-on-the-ground tactic to meet the enemy.

Jiang Zhongyuan saw the short hair in front of him running north, and quickly asked Chu Yong to speed up and rush forward.

A gust of wind blew by, and suddenly the short hair in front disappeared. Many Chu Yong who were chasing in front became confused and scared.

Cheng Xuaqi, who was lying on the ground, put his ear to the ground and estimated the distance of the Qing army.

Suddenly he jumped up and shouted:

"Land the flag"

All the soldiers of the Han army suddenly jumped up from the ground, raised hundreds of battle flags that had been prepared, and rushed towards Chu Yong, who was stunned on the spot, shouting.

Jiang Zhongyuan was shocked and angry. He didn't expect that his boat would capsize in the ditch today! He sternly rebuked the enemy on both sides and led his soldiers to face the enemy first.

"Kill"

"kill"



The two armies were one with a small number and high morale, while the other with a large number was overly frightened. They fought against each other, and for a while they couldn't tell the difference between victory and defeat, and gradually fell into a stalemate.

Cheng Xueqi was secretly worried. He had tried and tested the ground-down tactics in battles with the Green Camp soldiers, and had won every battle! He didn't expect that this group of Lian Yong could fight so well and could persist until now when they were suddenly attacked.

When did such a group of high-spirited country bumpkins appear on Qingyao's side? It seems that we have to retreat temporarily. Qingyao has the advantage in numbers. If we are surrounded, there is a risk of the whole army being annihilated!

Thinking of this, Cheng Xueqi gradually rushed towards Ding Ruchang and shouted: "Yu Ting! If we continue to fight like this, we will definitely lose! You quickly lead a hundred or ten people to the rear to rest for a while! When our army breaks through, stop my pursuers!"

Ding Ruchang led the reserve team to retreat to the rear, preparing to resist the enemy.

Seeing Chu Yong fall down one by one, Jiang Zhongyuan regretted it. He didn't expect that the honest young man was so cunning and could set up a trap so easily.

Forced to calm down, Jiang Zhongyuan looked at the battlefield situation and saw that his side's formation was in chaos, and many stragglers were squeezed outside, shouting and cheering!

Jiang Zhongyuan was furious and said to the two brothers who were following him: "Jiang Zhongyi! Jiang Zhongjun, you go back to the rear formation to collect the brave warriors, and attack the short-haired rear formation. You must wipe out all the short-haired ones here!"

"Follow orders"



Ding Ruchang panted heavily, picked up the water bag and drank some water, and said to the soldiers around him: "Don't worry, brothers, the division commander's reinforcements will be here soon, these Qingyao can't escape."

A soldier took the water bag, pointed at his back and said, "Why are these Qingyaos so good at fighting! I just killed three of them, and I was also slashed. Damn it, I thought he was dead! No.

Thinking of..." Thinking of the enemy soldiers who wanted to die with him, he was filled with fear.

"Deputy Battalion Commander! The reinforcements coming behind are not our reinforcements, they seem to be reinforcements from Qing Yao!"

Ding Ruchang suddenly turned around and saw that it was indeed Qing Yao. He quickly cheered everyone up, "Don't be afraid, everyone. There are only less than two hundred people. They must have been sent by Qing Yao in front to attack us. Brothers, follow me and kill them. If you can't,

Let them advance into the rear."

Liu Changyou cut down a Han soldier in front of him and said to Jiang Zhongyuan: "Sir, this won't work. Things will change later. We don't have reinforcements nearby, and the short-haired army can kill them at any time. It's better to go to Nanchang as soon as possible!"

Jiang Zhongyuan was silent, in terms of bravery, this group of short-haired men seemed not to be inferior to Chu Yong.

Why can the Shorthairs survive with nearly half of the casualties? By the way, they must have reinforcements on the way. Thinking of this answer, Jiang Zhongyuan secretly rejoiced, "Send the order, the army will cover each other, gradually break away from the Shorthairs, and retreat southward!"

When Wu Enze heard that his troops were going to be withdrawn, he went to Jiang Zhongyuan and complained: "We can defeat them in just one more hour, why should we withdraw our troops!"

Seeing Jiang Zhongyuan's gloomy expression, Liu Changyou explained: "We have just received news that the short-haired reinforcements are coming from the north. They are not malicious and may be intercepting us, so sir..."

Jiang Zhongyuan interrupted: "How many casualties have we suffered?"

Wu Enze lowered his head and said sadly: "More than 700 brothers died in the battle and more than 300 were injured!"

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy. Counting from Chu Yong's first battle, the total casualties were only more than 1,000. In the long-haired battle at Reiyidu, there were only more than 0 casualties. I didn't expect that today we would encounter a small short-haired force just after the battle.

Headache and bleeding!

Jiang Zhongyi thought that his enemies in the future would be these shorthairs, and worriedly said, "I heard that there are 50,000 to 60,000 shorthairs in Anhui and Jiangxi. Just the 3,000 or so of us will not help! I think we should gather Mr. Zhongyue's reinforcements."

Support Jiangxi!”

Everyone understood what he meant. Jiang Zhongyuan could be the governor, Liu Changyou could be the magistrate, and Wu Enze could have the title of county magistrate... All of them were obtained by Chu Yong. If Chu Yong was annihilated by Short Hair, then they would be rootless.

Piaoping, doing nothing.

Jiang Zhongjun also felt that the Jiang family's wealth and glory were all pinned on Chu Yong, and advised: "Brother, the second brother is right. The court now relies on us, so it promotes you. If Chu Yong no longer exists, how can those civil servants allow a martial artist?"

Take charge of a province! Let’s quickly join Mr. Zhong Yue and go to Nanchang to recruit troops and fight with Shorthair!”

Liu Changyou said: "But Mr. Zhongyue has just left Hunan. I don't know when he will be able to come here. Nanchang is very close. As long as we enter Nanchang City, we can control the situation in Jiangxi! Resist the short-haired attacks on the city and the territory!"

Jiang Zhongyi heard that everything he said was for the sake of the imperial court. He did not care about the honor or disgrace of the Jiang family, so he started arguing with Liu Changyou regardless of his dignity. "What a joke, you have seen the power of short hair just now, and Xiang Rong's army of 100,000 people is even more powerful," he said.

We are so vulnerable that we...the remaining defeated generals are not swallowed up by short hairs!"

Liu Changyou and Wu Enze, no matter how stupid they were, now understood what the Jiang brothers meant and looked at Jiang Zhongyuan with embarrassed expressions.

Jiang Zhongyuan weighed the pros and cons and felt that it was better to go to Nanchang quickly, so he scolded his two younger brothers: "Shut up! You two stand down! How can you be so rude? Wu Fentong and Liu Fentong are both your superiors!"

Quickly admit your mistake to the two adults, and I have decided to break camp and head to Nanchang immediately!"



Lin Qirong looked at the dejected Cheng Xueqi and Ding Ruchang in front of him, and decided to reprimand them, "You attack without permission without military orders, and you should be killed according to the law!"

Cheng Xueqi was shocked. In the past, he would have been laughed at and scolded for doing such things. This was the first time he heard about beheading. He pretended to be calm and said: "Commander, we will report important military information!"

"Say" Lin Qirong's face was expressionless, as if he could behead both of them at any time.

Cheng Xueqi became more and more frightened and regarded his guess as fact. He even guessed: "The general found out that the invading enemies were enemies we had never encountered before. They said they were from the Green Camp, but they were flying flags and wearing

However, they are dressed like Xiang Yong. They are said to be Xiang Yong, but they are all brave and fearless of death! The general has never encountered such an enemy! The general predicts that if this group of enemy troops grows stronger, they will definitely be my big man's.

They are a thorn in their side! So I led my troops to fight them to the death, but I didn’t expect..."

Li Qirong replied angrily: "I didn't expect that I was almost wiped out!"
