Chapter 64 The Battle of Fengyang Eighteen

Since Anton's army looted all the warehouses in the city, the Chuang army in the Battle of Fengyang became the cat taking chestnuts out of the fire, and all the real benefits were taken away by the monkey, Anton's army.

"I'm so angry, I'm so angry!" Zhang Xianzhong looked at the empty warehouse and jumped up in anger and cursed.

"General, you don't have to be angry. Although Anton's army moved the property in the warehouse in advance, it is only the small head, and the big head is not in the warehouse!"

Zhang Xianzhong was greatly surprised. He looked up and saw that the person speaking was Xu Yixian, the military advisor of the Chuang army.

"What does Military Master Xu mean by this?"

"General, do you think there are many wealthy households in Fengyang City now? If the general collected the wealth of the wealthy households, ten warehouses would not be able to compare."

"Haha, wonderful, why didn't I think of this? Military Master Xu, immediately send an order to collect all the property of the wealthy households. Anyone who dares to disobey the order will be killed without mercy."

Zhang Xianzhong gave an order, and the entire Fengyang City invaders immediately became excited. The originally chaotic invaders immediately turned into bandits, looting and killing everyone they saw. Later, a robbery even developed into a massacre of the city.

battle.

Without the restraint of military discipline, the soldiers who had been hungry for months became violent when they saw women. Some soldiers even raped the silver woman in public, and the whole Fengyang suddenly became a hell on earth.

During this battle, Fengyang City flowed with blood, and the corpses of women who had been stripped of their clothes were everywhere. The scene was horrific. According to post-war statistics, more than 100,000 people died under the knife of Chuang Saber alone in this war.

There are so many people.

The invaders looted and harvested more than one million in silver and took away tens of thousands of strong men.

Zhang Xianzhong was very excited. With so much money, Chuangjun could live freely for a while again.

However, when he heard about the harvest of food, his face became ugly.

According to reports from subordinates, because the warehouses were looted and the people's families had limited food, the food obtained this time was only tens of thousands of dan. This number seemed very huge, but for the hundreds of thousands of invading troops, it was nothing more than a drop in the bucket.

The Chuang army captured Fengyang City but did not receive enough reinforcements. Three days later, the Chuang army parted ways again due to disagreements.

It was already two months after the news of the destruction of the imperial mausoleum reached the ears of Emperor Chongzhen. When Chongzhen heard that the imperial mausoleum was destroyed, he burst into tears in front of everyone, and in October of the same year, he went to the Ancestral Temple to commit his first crime.

Ji Zhao:

I use my cool virtues to inherit the great unification. I intend to renew the world and restore the old traditions of my ancestors. Unexpectedly, I relied on non-human beings, which led to the rise of bandits. When I founded the state, I was originally a barbarian, and I was originally a pure child.

How can you dare to go against my appearance? The world is prosperous, and there are many civil and military people. It is helpless to boast and deceive people, but the actual achievements are rare. The captives entered three times, and the bandits were invaded for seven years. The master and the disciples were exposed, and the common people were intertwined.

.The country's funds are scarce and the levies have not yet been completed. It is difficult to stop the extra missions. I think about it in the middle of the night, and I am overwhelmed with shame and anger.

In the first month of this year, I returned to the Mausoleum of the Shangqian Emperor. The ancestors threatened the people, and the crime was really mine. So I set up a military plan and set a limit on the responsibilities. I waited for the trial to annihilate the canal, and the common people comforted me. But I didn't expect that the ministers would miscalculate again.

The rout was rampant. Even the generals were humiliated as clowns, and the soldiers and the people dared to be supreme. The place was ravaged again, and the lives were burned again. It was heartbreaking and gnashing of teeth, how could it be so shameless? If we didn't wipe out a lot, when would Yu Nei rest? There would be no more money left.

, Now we are mobilizing our troops to rescue Yuanyuan, and this is what we do. However, the civil and military affairs in the industry, the host and guest, the soldiers, toiled, hungry and cold, I deeply miss him. Thinking of his wind and food and sleeping in the open, I can't bear to sleep in the deep palace. I think of his drinking ice and rough food.

, I can't bear to enjoy the delicacies to myself. Thinking of the adventure, I can't bear to wear embroidery alone. I choose to take refuge in Wuying Hall on October 3rd, reduce my food and have fun. Except for the ceremony, I wear green clothes to show that I am with you.

The lines between the lines mean that the warriors share the same joys and sorrows. Until the day when the invaders are defeated.

The civil and military officers also inspected the past, tempered the future, communicated with each other, and used it to return to God's will. The governor-general and the prime minister were everywhere, raising their bodies and hearts to save the lives of the people. They made secret contacts and encircled and launched a large-scale attack. They went straight to the backbone and annihilated the enemy. Bandits. Although there are many thieves, there are only a few real thieves. The real ones will be wiped out, and the rest will survive. But beware of more ambushes, and do not go deep alone. Don't be greedy for relics, even if you order them to run away. Still pack food one after another, and don't go halfway. If there is no food, there will be a missed opportunity. The leader of the thief will be punished without mercy. He threatens to follow Chi Chi, but he cannot bear to kill them all. He plans a way out and gives warnings in advance. If he surrenders to the enemy and disperses, he will definitely avoid pursuing him. Or he can come back by taking advantage of the opportunity. That is to say, they are resettled. They have been allowed to disperse in scattered pieces, and they are not allowed to carry weapons and horses. The local area is strictly guarded, and invasion and aggression are strictly prohibited. In addition to defending the local area, the local soldiers are allowed to kill thieves and are willing to join the expedition. They are allowed to form another group to accompany the camp.

The governor-general Hong Chengchou has paid tribute to Shang Fang, and the prime minister Lu Xiangsheng has also promised to act expeditiously. The imperial servants of Guanglu were issued a total of 150,000 silver, and 20,000 pieces of bright red python satin and silk cloth from the inner treasury, which were divided into various groups. The censor was ordered to supervise the army. Supervise discipline, check the merits of the officers and men, and supervise the army to reward them. Or reward them with oxen to encourage their morale. The rewards and punishments must be clear and speedy to avoid the disadvantages of excessive delay.

Soon, Hong Chengchou led various armies to encircle and suppress the Intruders. Unfortunately, as the number and combat capabilities of the Intruders continued to increase, the Ming Dynasty discovered that it was already very difficult to extinguish the Intruders. Of course, this is a story later.

Let's say that Lin Dong led Anton's army all the way and did not stop until they reached the river. When he looked back, he felt relieved when he saw that the Chuang army was not chasing them.

The battle just now was too dangerous. If all the soldiers had not united as one, it is hard to say whether they could have fought their way out of Fengyang City.

When Li Dong and others arrived at the riverside, Li Da was already waiting there.

"General, you are finally here. If you don't come back, I will take my brothers back to find you."

"Have the arrangements been made for the people?" Lin Dong looked up and saw people everywhere along the river. Obviously there were too many people and it was impossible to send so many people across the river at one time.

"Don't worry, general, I have ordered the boatman to speed up and get the people to the other side as soon as possible." Li Da coughed and said.

Even so, judging from his expression, he was helpless. Obviously he also knew that it would be difficult to transport so many people across the river in a short time.

Lin Dong shook his head and said: Although we have temporarily repelled the intruders, we are not really safe yet. Once the intruders come again, our army will be in danger.

What worries me the most is the cavalry that invades the army. Without muskets, it is almost impossible to defeat the cavalry with infantry.

General, what should we do?

Lin Dong looked at the boats going back and forth, and suddenly an idea came to his mind, and he immediately said: You order people to drive the boats into the river, line them up, connect the boats with wooden planks in the middle, and build a temporary pontoon bridge.

"This is a good idea. I'll do it right now." Li Da was overjoyed and immediately ordered people to drive all the boats to the middle of the river. The boats were connected with wood. Then he had some planks found and laid on the trees. Anton's army quickly built a simple pontoon bridge on the river.

After the pontoon was built, Lin Dong asked: "Is our big ship ready?"

"General, the big ship is ready. It's over there. I'll take you there right now!" Li Da pointed to the river bend not far away and said.

Lin Dong nodded and said: "Bring your brothers and follow me."

"Yes!" Li Da left a group of soldiers to guard the pontoon, while the rest of the Anton army followed Lin Dong towards the bend of the river.

Soon Anton's army arrived at the bend of the river. There were several large ships parked here, all of which Li Da had arranged in advance for use on the return journey.

Seeing that Li Da had arranged the ship properly, Lin Dong nodded with satisfaction and said: "Yes, you did a good job in this matter. You have made a great contribution this time."

"Thank you, General." Li Da said with excitement.

"General, although General Li Da found a ship, he didn't kill any of the intruders. His contribution was insignificant. How do you say he made a great contribution?" a soldier asked dissatisfied.

Lin Dong glanced at the man and recognized that this man was Su Laosi, who had followed him since he started his career. Now he has been promoted to a general bannerman. This man has a stubborn personality and thinks that Li Da is a relative of the general and is able to climb up.

In my own head, I never paid much attention to Li Da.

Lin Dong didn't care about Su Laosi's unreasonableness, but smiled and said: "Let me ask you, what is our biggest gain from this battle in Fengyang?"

"Of course I defeated the vanguard of the invading army and got those supplies!" Su Laosi said with a proud face. After this battle, he followed the black bear and fought to the end, defeating countless attacks by the invading army. He couldn't help feeling arrogant in his heart.

.

"This is one of them, but it is not our biggest gain. Our biggest gain is to rescue tens of thousands of people in Fengyang City." Lin Dong said forcefully.

"I also know that you have contributed a lot by fighting hard in the city, but this is nothing compared to saving our entire Anton Army."

"General, General Li Da didn't do anything, so why did he save our entire Anton Army?" Su Laosi said sadly, thinking that Lin Dong was simply partial to Li Da.

"How can you be unreasonable in front of the general?" Black Bear struggled to sit up and said.

"General, I'm telling the truth!" Su Laosi asked himself that he was no match for the black bear, but Li Da looked down upon him.

Black Bear's face darkened and he was about to curse, but Lin Dong waved his hands and sighed, then said:

"Without Li Da's overall arrangements, not only would our Anton Army not be able to transport those supplies during the Fengyang battle, it would even be hard to say whether our Anton Army would be able to escape Fengyang Mansion, not to mention there are so many people.

"

Li Da found ships, ensured the transportation of supplies, and also allowed the people to get out of danger as soon as possible. Isn't this a great achievement?

You may not know that in addition to the vanguard force fighting us, there are hundreds of thousands of troops outside the city.

However, this is not what I am most worried about. What I am most worried about is the cavalry in Zhang Xianzhong's hands!

If the intruders knew that we had transported all the supplies in the city, would they let us go easily?

"General, this..." Su Laosi was at a loss for words. Yes, what if there are more supplies without Li Da? Can we transport them away?

The answer is obviously no. Without a boat and just relying on two legs, I am afraid that I will be overtaken by the cavalry of the invading army before I can run out of Fengyang Mansion.
